Louisville, Ky.—“For four years I

finished. The doc-

the patient and made an operation un-

A Cincinnati man discov-
ered this ether compound
and named it freezone. Any
druggist will sell a tiny bot-
tle of freezone, like here
shown, for very little cost.
You apply a few drops di-
rectly upon a tender corn
or callus. Instantly the
soreness disappears, then
shortly you will find the
corn or callus so loose that
you can lift it right off.
Freezone is wonderful. It
dries instantly. It doesn’t
eat away the corn or cal-
lus, but shrivels it up with-
out even irritating the sur-
rounding skin.
Hard, soft or corns be-
tween the toes, as well as
painful calluses, lift right
off. There is no pain be-
fore or afterwards. If your druggist
hasn’t freezone, tell him to order a
small bottle for you from his whole-
sale drug house.—adv.

rr^O THE natives of Korea, the
world is populous with active
and malevolent beings who are
ready at any moment to fall
upon them in wrath, according to a
statement made by Dr. I. M. Casa.no-
wicz, assistant curator of old world
archeology of the United States Na-
tional museum, concerning the para-
phernalia of a Korean sorceress now
deposited in the museum collections.
Doctor Casanowicz says the Koreans
believe that these beings or spirits
haunt every tree, mountain and wa-
tercourse ; are on every roof, fireplace
and beam, and infest even their chim-
neys, living rooms and kitchens; that
they beset them at home and waylay
them when abroad. They seem to be
everywhere at all times and make
their lives miserable. To their inftue-
enee the Koreans attribute every ill,
all bad luck, official malevolence, loss
of power or position, and especially
sickness; demons, consisting of self-
existent malicious spirits and spirits
of departed impoverished persons who
died in distress, and spirits whose na-
tures are -partly kindly, which include
the ghosts of prosperous and good peo-
ple, but even the latter appear to be
easily offended and extraordinarily ca-
pricious.
Two Classes of Sorcerers.
To cope with these two forms of
spirits and be assured of a little peace
and quiet, the Koreans have two
classes of sorcerers, or. as they call
them, “shamansthe Pansu and the
Mutang. Both classes are mediators
between the people and the spirits, but
they bear little relation to each other.
The former are “fortune-tellers^” and
the latter, the “deceiving crowd,” or
“bad lot.” In this connection, Doctor
Casanowicz said:
“The office of tbe Pansu is restrict-
ed to blind men, perhaps owing to the
common belief among primitive peo-
ples that those who have been de-
prived of physical sight have been giv-
en an inner spiritual vision. The Mu-
tang is always a woman, generally
from the lower classes and of bad re-
pute, and her calling is considered the
very lowest in the social scale. While
the Pansu is, as it were, born or made
by dint of his loss of eyesight, the Mu-
tang enters upon her office In conse-
quence of a ‘supernatural call,’ con-
sisting in the assurance of demoniacal
possession, the demon being supposed
to have become her double and to have
superimposed his personality upon
hers.
Pansu Is Master of Spirits.
“The Pansu acts as master of the
spirits, having gained by his potent
formula and ritual an ascendancy over
them. By his spells he can direct
them. The Mutang is supposed to he
able to influence them with her friend-
ship with them. She lias to pray to
them and coax them to go. By her per-
formances she puts herself en rapport
with the spirits and is able to ascer-
tain their will and to name the ran-
som for which they will release the
victim who is under torment.
“More varied than the functions of
the Pansu are the pacifications and
propitiations, called kauts or kuts, per-
formed by the Mutang. The kaut may
he carried out cither at the house of
the patient or at the home of the Mu-
tang, or at some shrine or temple,
called tang, dedicated to some spirits,
which are seen on the hillsides in Ko-
rea. If, as is occasionally the case, the
Mutang belongs to a noble family,, she
is allowed by her family to ply her
trade only in her own house. Those
who require her services send the re-
quired fee and necessary offerings, and
the ceremony is performed by the Mu-
tang in her own house- or at the tang.
“Her equipment consists of a num-
ber of dresses, some of them very cost-
ly ; a drum shaped like an hourglass,
about four feet high; copper cymbals;
a copper gong; a copper rod with small
bells or tinklers suspended from it by
copper chains; a pair of telescoping
baskets; strips of silk and paper ban-
ners which float around her as she
dances; fans, umbrellas; wands and
images of men and animals.”
The paraphernalia of the sorceress
or exorcist was acquired for the. Unit-
ed States National museum through
the agency of the late W. W. Rockhill,
formerly envoy extraordinary and min-
ister plenipotentiary of the United
States to China, and is now exhibited
in the section of historic religions in
the older building of the museum.
Healing the Sick.
“The service of the Mutang most in
demand is the healing of the si,ck,” con-
tinued Doctor Casanowicz. “If a sick
man believes that his distemper has
been caused by a spirit, he sends to
the Mutang to describe the symptoms
and learn what spirit is doing mischief.
The Mutang may declare the name oi
the spirit without going to the pa-
tient’s house, or may say that she
must see the patient first. On retain-
ing her fee she names a ‘fortunate’
day for the ceremony, which will be
performed either at her house or shrine
or at the patient’s house.
“The performance of a certain sor-
ceress reported took place before the
open door of the sick man’s house, in
an inclosed space within which were
tables laden with food and delicacies.
Three old women accompanied the Mu-
tang, two of them beating large hour-
glass-shaped drums, while the third
clashed symbols. The sorceress faced
them, dressed in rose-pink silk and n
gauze robe of buff, its sleeves trailing
on the ground. Her hair was decorat-
ed with strips of white paper and 8
curious cap of buff gauze with red
patches. Over her left shoulder she
carried a brightly painted stick sup-
porting a gong upon which she beat
with another stick, executing at the
same time a slow, rhythmic movement
accompanied by a chant. Every now
and then one of the ancient drummers
gathered pieces of food and, scatter-
ing them to the four winds for the
spirits to eat, invoked them by saying:
‘Do not trouble this house any more,
and we will again appease you by of-
ferings.’ The exorcism lasted from
two in the afternoon until four the
next morning, when after fourteen
hours of treatment the patient began
to recover. It is believed by another
writer, however, that all the gestures
and whirling, and the noise of the
drums and cymbals, must in some
cases actually ‘kill’ Instead of ‘curoJ 11
