198 Johann Frick Anthropos 52. 1957 If pimples break out on the eyebrows, a small bean is sliced in two, some tartar is scraped off the teeth and spread on the cut surface of the bean. If this piece is pressed against the pimple it is said that the pimple will disappear. My informant was unable to say whether the tartar was meant to be a healing agent or simply a glue to hold the bean in place. In everyday use tartar serves as a substitute for glue. These are selected examples of organic waste products used medicinally. No claim is made to have exhausted the subject. That would have been an impossibility, despite the writer’s close contact with the people of this region over a period of many years. Nor was it the writer’s intent to say all that could be said. He purposely limited himself to the most typical cases he could select. The sensibilities of western man may be repelled by the strange, even absurd character of many of the treatments and practices here described. If we further consider how the inhabitants of this crossroads of Chinese and Tibetan culture are constantly grasping at these remedies, some idea may be formed of their desperate plight when faced by the spectre of disease. The stubborn hold which such ancient practices retain on the people even today is due to no special preference for this bizarre type of remedy, nor to a pre judice against scientific medicine as such. It is due rather to their inability to understand and to master disease, the enemy of life and health, and also to their economic distress which makes it difficult for them to avail them selves of the advantages of modern therapy although it is penetrating by slow degrees into these parts.
