WHERE BITES ARE TREATED
Mission Dispensaries Cure Many Afri-
cans Who Sustain All Manner of
Dangerous Injuries.

Africans go to the mission dispen-
sarics to be cured of bites from all
kinds Of animals, and a large num-
her of them are cured The common
est bites are from snakes, say a writer
i'm World Outlook. In Inhamhane are
IS to 20 varieties Of poisonous snakes,
some very deadly, whose bites mean a
fight for life. Hyenas kill or carry
off hundreds of children each year,
and most Of those who are rescued
have terrible scalp wounds, as the
hyona carries a child by the head.
Other biting pests of the region are
lions, from whom few escape alive F.;
scorpions, very poisonous and fond Of
getting into beds; hypo flies, large
flies hat in biting take huge pieces of
flesh and cause great swellings ;
sharks, Of which the bay is full.
But the most common. bite and
seemingly the hardest to heal, is the
human bit. The Africans when they
get angry use their teeth to good adj
vantage. There is scarcely a morn
ing that several do not come to the
dispcnsary. One boy had his lower
lip bit off, and for him a new lip
was made.
