Two images on one negative: the first is a reproduction of an engraving depicting an Ojibwe healer sucking disease out of a patient using a special hollow bone from a German publication.

The second is a black and white reproduction of an illustration of charms used by an Ojibwe healer. The Ojibwe are an Anishinaabe people of Canada and the northern midwestern United States. The reproduction is from an unknown publication.
