Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from For the Healing of the Nations: A Popular Report of the British and Foreign Bible Society for the Year MCMXV-XVI "There are only two classes of mankind in the world - doctors and patients." - Rudyard Kipling. Most primitive peoples hold a common theory about disease. They believed that it is due to ill-will directed against the suffer on the part of a human enemy or a malignant spirit. The aborigines in Australia attribute sickness to some evil magic prepared by one man who thinks that magic has been put upon him will lie down, refuse food, and simply pine away. In the islands of Melanesia any illness is ascribed to demons which are controlled by a sorcerer, or else to the resentment of the ghost of the dead; an offended demon or ghost has to be propitiated by sacrifice. So in the Malay archipelago sickness is held to proceed from evil spirits, who must be appeared by prayers and sacrifices or averted by magical charms.
