HIS LATEST GIFT TO THE U. OF M.

Dr. LEONARD SENDS AN INDIAN WAND

It is Claimed That It Has The Power To Cure Diseases and Drive Away Devils

The University has recently received another gift from Dr. Leonard, who has sent so many interesting and peculiar gifts to the museum in the past.

The last gift is an Indian medicine wand which was owned by the great medicine chief of the Shoshone tribe. It' s claimed that this wand will cure any ill which flesh is heir to. It is a most gorgeous affair and is valued at $1,000 by the tribe which formerly owned it. It is decorated with bells of copper and shell beads of all varieties. Charms of various sort are strung along the whole length of the wand. Those of special value in charming away the evil spirit are the duclaus of deer, the crest of a falcon, eagle feathers and porcupine quills, and crowning the whole is the scalp of an enemy.

If anyone is pursued by black devils or has any particular ill, all that will be needful in the future will be to resort to the University, where Treasurer Soule will be glad to allow you the use of the wand.
