DEVIL DANCERS OF cEn0N
They Are Called Into RequIsitlon TOT
Curing All Kinds Of

Despite the advance Of medical
knowledge throughout india. says
writer in the October Wide World
Magazine. devil dancers are still called
into requisition in many parts OF Cey-
lon for curing all kinds OF sickness.
When a native is taken III his relatives
first apply medical treatment. II, after
some days, this appears TO be ineffec-
tive, Il is concluded that the sickness
is one incapable OF cure in this man
ner. but is caused by some inimical In
fuence. and must therefore be due TO
either a glance OF the evil eye, the ac-
ton OF demon. or some evil planetary
action. The soothsayer Is then sent
for, and this worthy, after examining
the patient, names the demon or spirit
responsible for the malady An offer
ing is then made TO the demon In tho
form OF food, coin. or a piece or
cloth. Then follows the professional
dance. carried out by the devil
dancers. Two men clad in gorgeous
garments and wearing strange head
dresses and masks 20 through mum
Der OF grotesque and extraordinary
evolutions TO the beating of the tom
toms, making weird noises the while.
This is kept up for hours, sometimes
all night, and is always performed
within sight of the sick person. In the
complete ceremonies Of the demon
called Samhi Yalsa. who causes con-
vulsions, severe toothache. headache,
etc. no fewer than 80 different masks
are worn in turn by the dancers. Curl
ously enough. observers state that
these strange ceremonies usually have
a favorable effect upon the patients
