"For headaches, the amulet Fig. 186 is considered particularly effective. It consists of a narrow strip of Varanus leather, which is sewn together into a tube, which is then wrapped around both ends by a small wooden stick. The amulet, which has a diameter of 3.4 cm., Was worn on the forehead, where it was held by a string, which was wrapped one turn around the head. Tying a string around the head as a remedy for headaches and fever is a very widespread custom in Africa. On pl. 9: fig. C is a sleepy woman from Rusisidalen depicted. She wears a string around her forehead to relieve the disease; the string can, although indistinctly, be discerned in the picture. The sick swamp woman on pl. 66 have used exactly the same remedy to cure the fever accompanying the headache. It is possible that this woman suffered from rheumatic liver. her finger joints were, as I have previously pointed out, considerably swollen from some gouty or rheumatic disease, which is also seen in the picture." (pp. 301-302, von Rosen, 1916, translated from Swedish).
