They Do Not Use The Same Way To Cure It As We Do;
And Therefore, The Difference Must Be Very
Considerable in Taste;
for all Men (that know Tobacco) must allow, that it is the Ordering thereof
which gives a

They have no Hairs on their Faces (except some few) and those but little,
nor is there often found any Hair under their Arm-Pits.
They are continually plucking it away from their Faces, by the Roots.
As for their Privities, since they wore Tail-Clouts,
to cover their Nakedness, several of the Men have a deal of Hair thereon.
It is to be observ'd, that the Head of the Penis is cover'd
(throughout all the Nations of the Indians I ever saw)
both in Old and Young. Although we reckon these a very smooth People,

all down his Back; the Hairs being above an Inch long.

amongst them, so neither did I ever see but one blind Man;

They had a Use for him, which was, to lead him with a Girl, Woman, or Boy,
by a String; so they put what Burdens they pleased upon his Back,
and made him very serviceable upon all such Occasions.
