Note:

A label on the reverse of this artwork explains, “This composite scene depicts the treatment of physical ills.

Warriors have their wounds attended with knives and hot coals. Herbs, poultices and the root and bark emetics are prepared by the women.

A pregnant woman is present at the extraction of an arrow. Hot coals are blown on cuts. A medicine man in bear dress is drawing blood from a head wound. A warrior’s let sinews are cut to aid his running. A boy’s broken arm is set.

A sweat bath ceremony ends with participants plunging into water. Hot coals are passed from hand to hand.

Medicine items are grouped in the foreground.”
