related to yellow fever. Prior to the white man's 
successful settlements in America, the Indians had, 
it is believed, greatly diminished in number along the 
Atlantic coast and in the Southern and Gulf States. 
I have run through much of the literature bearing 
upon the history of the Indians, as well as travels and 
explorations of our country, and made many extracts 
and notes on the state of medicine among them in the 
preparation of this address, but which I have not been 
able to use or even refer to. That the labor may 
not be entirely useless, I append as a note a list of 
some of the works which may assist those who desire 
to refer to the medicine and surgery of the North 
American Indians.* 
W^hen making excerpts and references to authorities consulted on 
matters relating to medicine and medical practitioners among the 
North American Indians, I had at first no thought of preserving, 
much less of publishing, the list. Its compilation is, therefore, an 
after-thought, that came to me when many of the slips and marks 
had been removed from the books and throv^^n into the v^^aste-basket. 
Many works, too, were consulted of which no formal note was taken 
or slip placed to indicate the place or fact. This I regret ; but those 
given may serve as a beginning to a Bibliography of Medicine among 
the American Indians.
