In June 1802 customs among the Laplanders allowed baiting activities. They require animals to dig up the row in quest of moss as forage cannot be carried in their Medes. They are skilled marksmen and some have repeatedly hit a small object at long distances with a bullet, without fail.
The text surveys Laplander diseases and cures such as sea blood for toothache and eye ailments, seal blood for health, and reindeer milk cheese ointment for cold wounds. It notes unusual remedies like eye treatment with eyelid insertion, moxa-like cautery, and silver or brass powders before amputation, plus funerary rites and small communal feasts after burial.
