MEDICINE-MAN'S STOCK-IN-TRADE. 



The little skin bag at the end of the horn with stones inside 

 is for rattling under the wizard's garment to represent the 

 speech of the evil spirit concerning the sick man. The horns 

 are for catching the blood of the sacrifice to be smeared on the 

 patient. There is no idea of administering medicine.
