The former represents what the peo-

Health authorities In some dis

nous negro Voodooism cures, not
only for influenza, but for all all

For instance, under the negro
practice, night sweats can be cured
by placing a rusty axe edge under
the bed. For malarial chills dip a
string in turpentine and tie II
around the waist. or tie strand
of yarn on the top button or the
coat. If this should fail, hang a
horseshoe in a peach tree.
For collie, have a person who has
never seen his father blow his
breath in the child's mouth very
early in the morning. and for meas
les, battle the eruption in the blood
of a black hen. For hiccough, drinl:
