MeQM? What Are We TO Do:

in America during recent months.
Let us bring sharply to the atten-
tion of the Negro workers that ra-
cial oppression is being used now
more than ever. The lynching
"bees," recorded and unrecorded, are
persisting in the South. The un-
recorded number of these crimes
are increasing, and these facts are
becoming known to Negro workers.
They are also known to such mill

The call for mass workers dem
onstration in Union Square, Satur-
day, May IL, at 1870 p. M, against
the police brutality in Berlin, where
29 workers were killed by Zoer-
giebePs police during the May Day
meetings and the fighting provoked
by the police attack, is meeting with
great response from the militant
workers of New York. Shoe and
food unions, the Negro Labor Con-
gress and the International Labor
Defense endorse it.
The workers of New York have
been up against police terror them
selves. They know what it means.
Workers like these striking cafe
terra workers know what it means
to face the police terror.
Shoe Workers Too.
So do the shoe workers. They
have some strikes too. The Inde-
pendent Shoe Workers Union OF
Greater New York, in huge mass
meeting last night in Union Square
adopted a ringing resolution de-
nouncing the police terror in Berlin
and declaring their solidarity both
with the German workers and the
striking cafeteria workers, ano

0 tribal -dfvulgence Of which meant
death.
Soon afterward the captain set sail for
home. Upon his arrival home, the family,
view his priceless possessions and to listen to
a remarkable tale of how they were obtained.
No doubt some of them doubted the virtue Of
the stone and the veracity of his words, but it
wasn't long before he had chance to prove
the efficacy of the stone, for a neighbor was
bitten by a copperhead snake; the stone was
applied and the patient recovered After this
incident people came from far and near-some
out Of mere curiosity to see the stone and others
to be treated with it.
by this time my great-grandsire had retired
He was then living in Hampton, Va. He had
been very generous with the stones however,
and gave some Of them to his best friends, in
GLIDING members of the Virginia Legislature.
I'm 1929 one Of his daughters, Mary King
Smith, married Mr.. Edmund Tyler, and she
took one of the stones with her; thus my grand
father secured a wife and one of the stones, and
ne had occasion to use it many, many times in
his lifetime. At his death the stone passed
into the hands of his eldest son, Edmund A.
Tyler, and now we are getting very close to
home, for that brings the story down to my
father. Many times have heard him tell Of
people who received treatment at his hands with
the stone.
"One lady came all the way from New Orleans
to Aldie, where my father was then living, to
have her little daughter treated for rabid
dog bite It took several days to complete the
journey and the child's leg was in a terribly
swollen condition when they arrived After
several applications with the stone which lasted
well into two days, the swelling subsidized, the
wound assumed pinkish, healthy look and in
a few days the child was restored to perfect
health.
There was an old Negro in our community,
-Eyed-Drunken-Jerry we called him, for he
was nerly always drunk. One day old Jerry
was in the woods and was bitten by a copper
head snake. He thought little of 1t, except
that he drank little more heavily; however, in
a few hours he was suffering acute pain. He
consulted the village doctor, who prescribed for
him. but the pain grew worse and the swelling
continued until his leg was about as large as
his head. The doctor then suggested that the
maidstone be applied and the old darby came
to my father and he applied the stone The
old negro recovered entirely and lived longer
than my father.
I'm my fathers declining days often applied
the stone, and it seemed quite natural for me
to continue to use it, to relieve the suffering and
distress of mankind after my fathers death.
Il never guarantee cure however. only
speak from the knowledge of what it has done
for Others"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-09-22

AT this point the writer interrupted with q
for anything else besides rabid dog bite and
poisonous snake bite?"
"Yes, the stone has been effectively used for
blood poisoning" replied Mr.. Tyler. Several
years back a physician, now practicing in WASH
ington, D. c., treated lady for blood poisoning
for about nine days with little or no effect
CThe name Of the lady and the physician was
given to the writer). He asked me to try the
maidstone. The lady came to me for two sue
ceSsiye days for treatment. A favorable reaction
set in. She was to come back the third day, but
she sent message saying she was so much
better that she didn't think 1t necessary
"Once man Of my acquaintance was stung
by a swarm Of bees. He suffered intensely for
three or four days. The different remedies used
seemed to give little relief. Finally the mad
stone was applied. In short time the patient
felt very much better and fell asleep The
swelling gradually subsidized and in day or two
he was well man.
Again, have heard of the maidstone being
used for the sting of a scorpion and that of
spider"
At this juncture the writer asked another
question. HAS the stone ever been known to
fail?" -
My informants reply was "No, not that I
have ever heard Of I have treated about
hundred cases myself, my last case only about
three weeks ago, and have yet to learn Of
patient that did not respond to the treatment"
After this interview with the owner of the
stone the writer was permitted to view it. The
stone is about one and one-fourth inches in
length, of light and dark brown color, re-
sembling an almond in shape.
When asked as to how it was applied, the
owner replied: 1.-THE stone is first placed in q
glass of water for 10 minutes. In the interim
the wound is scratched with the sharp blade of
knife, which has first been sterilized in
bichloride solution, until the blood is about
ready to appear. Now the stone is taken from
the water and applied directly to the wound
If there is poison in the wound the stone ad-
heres. When it has absorbed all the poison it
is capable of holding 1t falls off, and Is then
placed in the water again. Sometimes the
water turns grayish-green color, but more
often it does not The stone is again applied,
and if all the poison has been removed the stone
does not adhere g.
A FTER seeing this extraordinary stone and
hearing the strange testimony of its heal
ing power, the writer went away wondering

THE following quotations are copies of labels
= of some of the madstones in this case:
. Model-madstone from the mineral hal
loysite, of a maidstone in actual use. Believed
to be the mineral of which some of the famous
madstones are composed. It absorbs moisture
with avdity, and adheres to moistened sur
face until nearly saturated. Applied to the
wound produced by the bite of a mad-dog it is
said to adhere until the poison is entirely alb.
sorbed. The stone is then boiled in milk to
remove the poison.
Madstone.-Said to have been found in the
stomach Of a deer, by an Apache Indian Of
New Mexico. It is pebble of carbonate of
lime. which may have been. swallowed by
deer with his food or water, and the surface
etched by the action of the gastric juices Sent
to the museum as veritable maidstone.
Madstone-A hillary calculus, or gladstone,
formed in the gall bladder of an OK. One Of
the earliest forms of madstcnes. Ibn Baithar
u248 ADJ ascribeS to it the power of at
tracing the poison of venomous animals. It
was applied to snake bites as well as dog bites.
"A FTER viewing the Medical Exhibit of Magic
Medicine" this doctor continued his con.
versation, and was strong in his denunciation
stance that it seems unbelievable that well edu-
Gated people of the present day and time would
pin faith in such thing. He seemed to think
that science would progress much faster If
man would cease his primitive thinking and
accept scientific facts and extraordinary &C.
currences as due to natural laws.
There is still another theory which might
be offered to explain the maidstone. It is one
where the mind plays the most important
part. Every one knows that the mind can and
does work wonders with the body. Back in
the early days Of England there originated with
Edward the Confessor in the year 1904, q mode
OF healing called the Royal Touch, and was
practiced by succeeding Kings and Queens of
England down to Queen Annes time This
method Of healing consisted of the laying on
OF hands by the King or Queen, and thousands
are said to have been cured. Mind healing
is still practiced and believed in to great
extent in the present day and time. Not long
ago the writer heard doctor say, 1T am going
to lose patient. This man says he does not
want to live, and that he is going to die, and
he will die, unless I can find something to fix
his attention on; and stimulate his mental
qualities, SO as to arouse confidence, hope faith
in life and himself" We all know of cases
where the mental qualities have been stimu-
lated In patient to such a degree sassto seem.
ingly modify physiological function, and through
such modified function even to produce tissue
change. 1t would seem to some that, the use
OF the maidstone is another method of mind
healing
There are still Others however, who will say
mat the maidstone is thing 'inexplcable"

the medical profession and the leading scientists
thought about it.
A trip to the Congressional Library revealed
nothing.
In an interview with the curator of anthro-
pology Of the United States National Museum
this is what was said in substance: at simply
regard the maidstone as folklore remedy It
Is interesting and no doubt some of the old folk.
lore remedies have been helpful, but the mad.
stone has never been approved by the Bureau
Of Standards Johns Hopkins University or the
leading scientists and physicians, and would
not want to trust my life with it."
From the assistant curator, division of medi.
cine. United States National Museum, there was
little more to be learned about the maidstone He
simply stated There isn't anything to tell about
it. for there isn't anything to it. All of this
talk about its healing power is pure bosh'"
There is many person who claims to have
been bitten by rabid creature when the ami
NAL is not rabid at all. However, the maidstone
Is applied, the patient RECEIVERS, and the stone
gets the credit.
The writer was conducted to O glass case
located in the east gallery Of the old Smith,
Sonian Building, where madstones and charms
Of all countries and ages have been collected
and grouped together under the classification
Of Magic Medicine. There are stones of va.
rious shapes and sizes, besides balls of matted
hair, seeds, etc., all of which are called mad~
stones.

Trial is set for next Monday.
Boyd figured in a disturbance at a
party in the divorce colony recently and
was fined $3.50. He was alleged to have
been intoxicated.
In his complaint he alleges that his
wife nagged him over trivial affairs and
finally told him she no longer loved
him.
A settlement made out of court pro-
vides that Mrs Boyd shall have custody
of a daughter and shall receive one
third Of his income, but not less than
5000 a month.
Boyd married Margaret Woodward
