Yet insome respects the medicine man of uncivilized tribes used the method for curing sick personswhich are known to have had real value. In early time when people became ill, they turned for help to the medicine man of thetribe. It was generally believed that sickness was caused by evil spirits, and it was the medicineman’s task to drive these bad spirits out of the sick man. To do this, he would try to frightenthem away by making loud noise and wearing frightening masks. Usually he would chant magicwords, sing special songs, and performed special dances. Nearly always he used a particular kindof plant which was supposed to be a remedy for a particular sickness.Some of these cures used by the medicine men did help. The plants which these earlydoctors used were frequently drugs now understood to be medicinal or pain- relieving. Therespect and confidence which the people had in their medicine man gave sick persons hope andhelped them feel better.
