The Micmacs In Early Times

Excerpts from I work by Nich- olas Denys. first Governor of Acadia. published in France in 1672 and translated by Dr. Wil- liam F. Ganong for the Cham- plain Society. Continued from last Tuesday:

The hunting of the Beaver took

place in summer with arrows. when they were taken in the woods, or cisc in the lakes or

ponds. wliere. the Indians placed themselves in ranocs at a proper spot to vtiitch until they came to the surface of the water to take air. But the commonest and most certain way uas to break their

For it is well to remark here that the Indians had many stipcrsiitioiis about such things. of which it has been much trouble to diszibuse them. If they had roasted an Eel. they also be- lieved that this would prevent lhem from catching one another Ili't1F'. Thry had in old times many beliefs of this kind, which we have disabuserl them.

Their xiraaltli was in proportion to their Dogs. and as a testimony to a friend of the esteem in which they hold him. they save him that Dog to cat which they valued the most.

In the meantime the' Indian ar- rives. and tries without being seen to approach within shot be- low the wind. For it the animal perceives him or his smell, the Moose takes to flight and scorns the Dogs, unless the hunter gives it. an arrow-shot. Being injured, it has difficulty in saving itself from the Dogs, which follow it incessantly, as does also the In- dian, who overtakes it and shoots again.

But sometimes the Dogs. which have seized the ears or the muz-

zle, drag it to earth before the Indian has come up. They are not inclined to abandon it, for

very often they have had nothing to eat for seven or eight days. The Indian arrives, completes the kill, splits open the belly, and gives all the entrails to his Dogs. which have a great junket. It is this which makes the Dogs keen in the chase.

As for the winter, when it. has rained upon the snow, whit-li can thus carry the Dogs, thcy made use of them as I have already de- scribed. because they have not at that time so much trouble to catch the Moose. For these cannot then run so last; being much heavier

That Body Of Yours

THE NENVER METHODS OF TREATING MENTAL CASES

Less than twenty years ago We were told. by brain specialists that at the rate mental ailments iicre increasing, within fifty years onc- half of the people of the world would be needed to take care of the other half. This was, perhaps. a warning to us that we must all watch otirselves and our families, so that at the slightest sign of a change in our mental and emo- tional make-up. we might. do something about. it.

Notwithstanding that the new- er methods of trtiiitmeiit were un- known at. that tltnc. physicians treating cases in nur menial lins- pitals ivere nbie to help six out of every 10 cases entering: these hospitals and allowing them to re- turn home. the large majority to their regular occupations.

New methods of trciitment, how- ever, are helping the mentally sick, it is recorded by Dr. Irving J. Sands, Brooklyn, N. Y.. in ”Dis- eases of the Nervous System."

"In 1036 (15 years ago) insulin was introduced into America and met. with a favorable response. In State hospitals it. has been found that a larger number of insulin- treated patients were able to leave the hospital than were patients undergoing the usual forms of treainient, successful as they were. There was also an average saving of 3H months of hospital care, and a greater level of usefulness present in the discharged insulin treatment. cases."
