Overview

First Edition, rare inclusion of dust jacket. This in-depth study of the cultural roles of the Medicine Man within the scope of Native American histories and societies was written by an acclaimed physician rather than by an ethnographer. Great care is taken to explain the homepathic cures and medicinal practices of the Native medicine man of different cultures, and the practice of medicine is explored from wound dressing to childbirth, and from psychological treatments of fear to cleansing rites and food prep. Dust jacket unclipped. Moderate toning to DJ spine, title still reads vividly. Some rubbing to foot and crown of DJ spine, very minor loss. Hand-made deckled edges, some leafs still uncut. Red cloth covers, fuly bound, gilt-stamped title on spine.
