Description:
Native Americans tend to the sick. The sick are either laid face up or down on platforms. On one side a man sucks blood from the head of a sick man. On the other, seeds are burnt and the fumes are inhaled by the patient. In the background a woman offers tobacco to a man with a pipe.

notes:
The text describes how native Americans cure the sick. Blood is extracted from the head of a patient and that blood is placed in an earthen or gourd vessel and given to pregnant women or women who are nursing male children. Sometimes the patient inhales smoke from certain seeds. Tobacco, called petum in Brazil and tapaco by the Spanish, is given to dispel evil humors. The natives are also said to be extremely subject to venereal diseases. This work was published by Theodor de Bry from manuscript notes and drawings made by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, an illustrator and explorer, who sailed with René de Laudonnière on the 1564 Huguenot expedition to Florida. Laudonnière set up Fort Caroline on the St. John's River in 1564, but the settlement was destroyed by the Spanish army under Pedro Menendez de Aviles. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 2. German.
