A Healing Hand

| Like that game of 'Exquisite Corpse', where each person draws part of a figure without seeing what others have drawn. Here done in solid form, where the horn made a good body for the hand-as-foot. The cool smooth hand, and the "Modern Medical Counsellor" book. Way back when I was a child, there was a book like this in most homes. A well-illustrated reference book for every question, every ailment. Hidden on a high shelf away from the children. |
