| A British surgeon on an expedition in Panama in the 1680's wrote an account of an |
| Indian smoke-blowing session: "The End so lighted he puts into his Mouth, and blows |
| the Smoak through the whole length of the Roll into the Face of every one of the |
| Company or the Council, tho' there be 2 or 300 of them. Then they, sitting in their usual |
| posture upon Forms, make, with their Hands held hollow together, a kind of Funnel |
| round their Mouths and Noses. Into this they receive the Smoak as 'tis blown upon |
| them, snuffing it up greedily and strongly as long as ever they are able to hold their |
| Breath, and seeming to bless themselves, as it were, with the Refreshment it gives |
| them." |
