In the hammock we found a middle-aged woman; a native of Ceara. Her face was not unattractive but terribly emaciated, and she was evidently very sick. She showed us an arm bound up in rags and the part exposed was wasted and dark red. It was explained that three weeks before, an accident had forced a wooden splinter into her thumb and she had neglected the inflammation that followed. I asked her to undo the wrappings, a thing which I should never have done, and the sight we saw was most discour...aging. The hand was swollen until it would not have been recognised as a hand, and there was an immense lesion extending from the palm to the middle of the 170 In the Amazon Jungle forearm. The latter was in a terrible con- dition, the flesh having been eaten away to the bone. It was plainly a case of gangrene of a particularly vicious character. Suddenly it dawned upon me that they all took me for a doctor; and the questions they asked as to what should be done, plainly indicated that they looked to me for assistance.
