How Livingstone treated witch-doctors
David Livingstone (1813-1873), explorer and missionary, tried to “keep on good terms with witch-doctors, ‘generally the most observant people to be met with,’ never to disparage their treatment in front of a patient and generally to treat them as colleagues rather than quacks.”
