Where Doctors Kick Patients Around

priest-doctor informs the patient that he is
suffering either the curse Of Jurm, the god
of eating-whieh means the patient ate too
much and is being punished for hoggishness,
or possibly the curse of Luman or Jurta or
Zebob respectively the gods Of desire, pos
session and hypocrisy
The displeased god having visited the
wrong-doer with devils, these evil spirits must
be driven out A body bruised by external
punishment is supposed TO be very unpleasant
for the devils, 50 the patient is subjected to
a sound thrashing.
This treatment also holds good for women
and little children who, however. are kicked
by a juvenile apprentice less powerful than
his elders

from his treatment, the doctor explains that

Again in the household category, there is
a fly-swatter which injects the sporting spirit,
no less than the killer instinct, into the bust
