The good a man does may indeed
live after him—and sometimes in
strange ways.
Perhaps the most fantastic of im-
mortalities has been bestowed on a
Seventeenth century Scottish doctor,
William Patterson, who was apotheo-
sized into a god and whose cult is
still spreading after nearly P.00 years.
For some years there have been
coming into the collections of the
Smithsonian institution at intervals
curious canes used by Indian medi-
cine men in Panama and northern
South America. On the heads, of
these canes are carved statuettes of
a man with a long nose, » high hat
and European dress. Some are very
crude, some masterpieces of wood
carving.
But the Smithsonian ethnologists
noted that all obviously were in-
tended to portray the same individ-
ual—a white man. The canes were
the Shurama sticks of the Indian
medicine men—their wands of au-
thority. Among some of these tribes
every occupation has its character-
istic staff with some carvinj emblem-
atic of the function of its bearer. ,
Investigation reveals that the fig-
ures on the staffs of the medicine
men are intended to represent Doc-
tor Patterson, leader of a Scottish
colony which settled on the coast of
the Gulf of San Bias in 1698. It was
sent out by the “Company of Scot-
land Trading to Africa and the In-
dies,’’ apparently a purely specula-
tive enterprise.
The Scottish settlers made friends
of the Indians, largely because of
the interest taken in the natives by
Doctor Patterson and the cures he
was able to bring about. The Indians
attributed to him supernatural pow-
ers. He was the greatest of “medi-
cine men.”
The colony, however, was unsuc-
cessful. It encountered bitter oppo-
sition from the Spaniards, who be-
lieved that it was intruding on their
territory, and in a few years it was
abandoned and all traces of it soon
vanished—all except the long nose,
the high top hat and the green coat
of the good Doctor Patterson. He
was a god who had come and gone.
By application of the old principle
of sympathetic magic they continued
to make use of him. The magic staffs
first came to the Smithsonian collec-
tions from among the Tule Indians.
Recent acquisitions show that they
have now spread into the Choco coun-
try of Colombia, the ancestors of
whose present Indians never could
have come into contact with the man
himself. Doctor Patterson has be-
come a powerful magic.
The face always is recognizable.
The better staffs reproduce details
of his attire. His coat is painted
black or green. His wais+coat. shirt,
necktie, collar and buttons are repre-
sented. He is the god of medicine
