notes:
Text describes how native Americans cured illness by bloodletting. The woman is the wife of Lacenta, chief or cacique of the Cuna on the north side of the isthmus. Wafer joined Bartholomew Sharp and William Dampier on an expedition aimed at raiding Spanish settlements in Central and South America from 1679 to 1681. After an accident on the isthmus of Panama, he was nursed back to health by the Cuna Indians of the region. He was engaged by the Darien Company in 1698 as a consultant. The engraver may be John Savage (fl. 1683-1700).
