WITCH DOCTORING

Many early ideas about the causes and cures of illness seem ridiculous to us today. Yet in

some respects the medicine man of uncivilized tribes used method for curing sick persons

which are now known to have had real value.

In early times when people became ill, they turned for help to the medicine man of the

tribe. It was generally believed that sickness was caused by evil spirits, and it was the

medicine man’s task to drive these bad spirits out of the sick man. To do this, he would

try to frighten them away by making loud noises and wearing frightful masks. Usually he

would chant magic words, sing special songs, and perform special dances. Nearly always

he used a particular kind of 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 early

doctors used were frequently drugs now understood to be medicinal or pain-relieving.

The respect and confidence which the people had in their medicine man gave sick

persons hope and helped them feel better.
