ANSWER —A Wysox reader writes that as a child of Penn sylvania Dutch heritage, she had been taken to someone to do “pcw-wow" on her for an ailment of some kind. She was too young to remember what was involved. She wanted some background information on pow-wow. Thanks to Lester K. Burkholder, Fredericksburg, for sending the following informa tion: Powwing is the English name given to the practice known in the German language as Braucherey. The word pow-wow is a direct translation from the Algonquian Indian language which means communication with the dream and spirit world. The word Braucherey is thought to originate from the ancient Hebrew word of Baruch that means to bless. This is not to be confused with a blessing from the almighty God where the Hebrew word of Brakah is always used. The practice was brought into America from the old world by the early settlers. Brauchery (powowing) goes back to ancient sources and carries an occult mood. It is thought that most of these practices originated from ancient Egyptian practices of sorcery and were passed down through the generations. The practices used in powwowing are mystical and require faith in them to work. ANSWER For Paul Dowie who wanted a beginner’s alto sax, P. Charles has one to sell that needs some repairs.

Write to him at 575 Netzley Dr., Denver, PA 17517. ANSWER —Bonnie Gibble of Ono needs information on how to stop her dog from chewing on his leg and taking off hair and flesh. He is now eating dirt, which he didn’t do before. Could he be lacking something in his system? Vet is no help with lotions, which can stop it in one area but the dog will start eating at another place. Thanks to Ruth Erb, Beavertown, for answering. She read in health newsletters about dogs being helped by Proanthocyanidin (brand name Pycnogenof) an extract of grape seeds or a particular pine needle. It is a natural anti-inflammatory that does not cause stomach ulcers. Walmart sells Proanthocyanidin reasonab ly. Try giving your dog one a day. He should probably chew it up, if not, crush and sprinkle on his food. Try for two or three months at least. Ruth writes that she has taken it for years for a chronic muscle disease that is incurable. The only side effect in humans found thus far is a possible B vitamin deple tion. Ruth takes extra B vitamines for this. If the therapy doesn’t work, ask your vet about Chondroitan Complex. Vets prescribe it for animals with arthritis, but it is also an anti-inflammatory. Also, put a little olive oil on your dog’s food. ANSWER Beth Schaffer, Telford, is restoring an anti que wicker (reed) wheelchair and needed wheels.
