Che medium of herbs with medicinal
properties, of which there are over
100 species in the colony known to
the natives. * One of the most fre-
quent cases with which a native doc-
tor has to deal is snake bite, and for
this there are at least a dozen herbal
antidotes, the chief of which is the
root of the aster asper, a small plant
somewhat Mke the daisy, with" lilac
colored flowers. It hits been used
with success by hunters on their
dogs when snake bitten, but the se-

popular plant, however, is the
u-mondi, whose aromatic roots act
as a very wholesome tonic. It is on
the point of extinction in the eolony,
and a large price is now paid for its
roots.
When called in, the doctor receives
a fee known as "ulugxo," varying
from 0 shillings to half a guinea,
according to his standing. Should
a cure result a further fee is claima-
ble, but failure to cure is unreward-
ed by payment beyond the call lee.
Every doctor has to take out a li-
cense to practice from the magis-

of his profession (t) on one oc-
casion brutally murdered no fewer
400 women for mere lust of
blood. His last words were in keep-

of Dingaan's assegais, he exclaimed,

B«M u Ventilator*.
It is not generally known, but
most beekeepers will inform you
that such is the case, that each bee-
hive has a corps of what could prop-
erly be termed "ventilating bees."
r v During the hot seasons these venti-
lators station themselves at the en-
rtjrance of the hive and fan the in-
terior with the incessant motion of
their wings. These ventilating corps
are usually in relays of from four to
a half dozen, and they are relieved
at short intervals by fresh workers,
tfho keep up the fanning process.
They are kept at work by a sort of
patrol of bees, which insures inces- *
eant activity on the part of the fan
ners during the time they are a
work. This story may sound strange
to those who know but little con
cerning the wonderful intelligence
ot bees, but it is a scientific fact
that has often been authenticated

RUPTURE
Of Men, Women and Children cured without
pain or the slightest inconvenience.
Every case guaranteed. Patients
need not pay a dollar until com-
pletely cured. The truss discarded
forever. We frequently hear of
deaths caused by hernia, and the
number is constantly growing in
proportion. These conditions make
the demand for a suae, satb axd
riRMANKNT CUBS. No truss will
affect that cure. The best trass can
only temporarily support the rup-
ture and constant pressure will cause
Atrophy of all parts pressed upon in
the end making a more difficult and
dangerous rupture.
