Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from The Onéota: Medicine in the Forest

HE earlv European, adventuring in the forest World of the West, had no need to fear, that. Ill or wounded, he could find no help. Along the old frontier of New York and Pennsyl vania the fame of the Indian Doctor was yet great, a half century since, and a careful study Of the records goes far to sustain the tradition. Thus the French colony to the Onondaga, 1656, experiencing in the month of August much sickness by reason of excessive heat, was by the kind attention Of the savages, we read, speedily relieved Of' 'all disorders. 1 Piompt as effective was the treatment administered bv the Iroquois accompanying the same expedition, in the case Of a lone Huron found en route, who had been severely burned and half starved. He was soon enabled to take the trail for Quebec.
