Diabolism of Witch Doctors

THE sufferings OF savage races. who know
less than nothing about medicine and
surgery, are almost incredible; and their tor
ture is increased still further by the dlabollcal
tricks of the witch doctors devil dancers. and
other native practitioners. 1t IS estimated
that there are not more than three hundred
and fifty to four hundred white doctors among
a thousand millions of savages.
In Africa sickness and disease are supposed
to be due to witchcraft, and the moment man
or a woman falls ILL., witch doctor, strangely
clad and savagely masked, is called in to find
out who has cast spell upon the sick person.
Forthwith aided by his disciples, the doctor
dances solemnly down the brambly street OF
waffle and daub huts to the sound of tomtoms
and brazen gongs
An innocent Victim is decided upon as the
Culprit who has wrought the evil by magic on
the sick man. and he at once is condemned by
the witch doctor and relatives alike, nothing
but his death, and that in the most dreadful
manner being considered an efficacious remedy.
Sometimes the doctor proves his diagnosis
by commanding the victim to dip his hands
into great pot of boiling water If they come
out unframed he is innocent. so, man1feStly,
the poor creature has not much chance of get
ting off In some cases the victim OF this native
doctor IS tied to stake and devoured alive by
ferocious ants. or the physician may ask the
scapegoat to drink a test draft OF deadly
poison, and when the unfortunate creature is
laid out dead the witch doctor points out the
nfallibility of his researches and pockets his fee.
Perhaps it is incorrect to say pockets his
fee J." because he has no pockets at all and ex-
ceedingly little in the way of garments of any
kind on him and then his fee might consist of
a whole OK few coils of solid brass wire
DR. Summers the first student of the Inter
national Medical Society, who died in Lulua-
burg. Central Africa. in 1888, came across two
extraordinary cases of children having been
treated by their mothers. The unhappy little
ones had been cut and scored from head to
foot with sharp instruments. and were dead.
In North Africa the redhot iron is used freely
as a drastic implement of surgery: and in one
case an American doctor saw hole burned in
mans foot to let his disease out into the all
receptive earth. Bronchitis and pneumonia
were treated with cones of sulphur, which were
placed over the chest of the unfortunate patient
and then set on fire

of these uncouth languages are mastered and

an American physician who has labored long

In other regions sheep are entirely black,
