Indian S'eight. of. Hand Performers

The old Indian medicine men were
in many instances clever slight of
hand performers. A very common
trick among Indian charlatans was
to pretend to suck foreign bodies,
such as stones, out of the bodies of
their patients. Records of this are
found among many tribes from the
lowest in culture to the highest, even
among the Aztecs.
A Hidatsa residing in Dakota in
1865 was known by the name of
Cherry in the-mouth, because he
had a trick of producing from his
mouth at any season what seemed to
be fresh wild cherries. He had
found some way OF preserving cher
ries, perhaps in whisky. It was easy
for him to hide them in his mouth
before intending to play the trick.
The Indians considered it wonderful
magic.
