To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is more probability that the tubes, in part at least, were implements of the medicine-men who employed them in their pretended cures of diseases. They applied one end of the tube to the suffering part of the patient, and sucked at the other end, in order to draw out, as it were, the morbid matter, which they afterward feigned to eject with many gesticulations and contor- tions of the body. Coreal, who traveled in America from 1666 to 1697, calls the tubes employed by the medicine-men of t...he Florida Indians "a kind of shepherd's flute" (une espece de chalumecm) ."^^ They are referred to by Venegas^ and Baegert^^ as being in use among the Cahfornians, and the German traveler Kohl saw, as late as 1855, one of the above-mentioned cures performed among the Ojibways of Lake Superior. In this instance, however, the tube used by the medicine-man was a smooth hollow bone, probably of the brant-goose.^' The specimens in the Smithsonian collection chiefly consist of light-gray steatite, of striped slate, or of chlorite.
