 smoked. A hole is dug in the ground, the 

 nest of a colony of wood termites is 



broken and put in, and a fire is set. This 

 gives off a heavy smoke which rises for 

 hours. An affected leg is held over this 

 smoke for a whole day while the patient 

 lies prostrate. The cure, Mr. Alphonse 

 says, usually works so far as the sore is 

 concerned.)
