of discovery with hi life while the

Herbert Slordet a civil engineer of

to Port au Prince waa engaged In the
pomeer of a remarkable knowledge
of the telle properties ot herbs and

of a Norwegian bark which had been

Into the hand of the native who de

that he had pried Into the secret of th
obea practice which I under the ban

thl case was extremely difficult How
ever the writer with the guidance ol
a friendly negro visited the house
where th unfortunate victim wa at
the time concealed and found him ap
parently deranged. Close examine
