notes:
Text describes how when a Brazilian is ill, he points to where it hurts and another, often a medicine man, will suck the affected part. Pians is a disease known as yaws or Treponema pertenue. Thevet, a Franciscan monk, traveled to Brazil with Nicolas Durand, chevalier de Villegagnon, stayed ten weeks, and wrote his book from his own observations and those of others.
