To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As soon as the pipe was finished the messenger presented the fee and in- formed the medicine man as to who was in need of his services. If that functionary did not think the fee offered was of sufficient value, he refused to at- tend the patient until it was made satisfactory ; and the runner then returned for more goods. If, how- ever, the fee sent was acceptable, the medicine man at once took his sacred rattle, the only thing need- ful, and repaired to the wigwam of the sick person.
As this e...nchanted rattle was the one potent instru- ment of the medicine man, it is entitled to a descrip- tion in detail. It was usually about five or six inches in diameter, and was made in various ways. Some- times it consisted of two pieces of wood hollowed like a gourd, the rattles being placed in the hollow and the pieces fastened together ; and sometimes of a turtle shell. But the rattles most esteemed were of raw elk or buffalo hide, wet and stretched over a ball of clay. When the skin had become dry and hard, the clay was dug out at the place where strips of skin had been left for the purpose of fastening upon a handle.
