WITCH DOCTORING

for curing sick persons which are known to have had real value.
In early time 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 noise and wearing frightening
masks. Usually he would chant magic words, sing special songs, and performed
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.
