Alcheray and medicine, as it was practiced in the early part of the Fif- teenth century, had many strange be- liefs. Among them was that a roasted mouse would cure cannon ball wounds if it was boand tightly to the fracture, and old blood could be made young again by transfusion. Every starbeam was thought to be a thread of light that ran directly to the head of some living man, and his fate was deter- mined by its action. It was also be- lieved that rock crystal was ice that had been buried a thousand years, and that gold was once lead, that after being buried 200 years changed to red arsenic and 200 years after that was ice. left for Brainerd Friday night to spend the Christmas holidays with | Telatives Drs.
