Aleutian History
J. N. Cannon
The following is practically a literal translation
from the Russian taken from the manuscript of Fr.
Gedeon, priest-monk of the Alexandro-Nevsky Cathe
dral, Moscow, Russia, and was written in Kodiak be
tween 1804 and 1807. It has never before appeared in
print.

Amogot:—a decoction of this
root powdered, was drank morn
and evening, in veneriel diseases.
When sore throats were superim
posed in addition to this disease,
patients fasted a whole day and
applied poultices at night. Amogot
and Kuyuhat grow on level
beaches, near Karluk and Seven
Mile Beach, Kodiak Island.
ShulyanakThis d e p urrative
grass also grows near Karluk.
It’s roots resemble the decoction
sold in our stores (1804). This was
decocted in a closed vessel and is
still used in venereal diseases; a
small drink of this taken morning
and evening, and the root of the
wild burnet (mzjulingok) is chew
and the saliva is swallowed, al
though bitter and caustic.

As a general custom, in all
sickness strict diet is observed;
even among children, when sores
of any nature were observed, they
voluntarily abstained from greasy
foods.
Whenever an Aleut dies, all
relatives and acquaintances are
called, excepting younger children,
and all surround the deceased
and weep, saying in case of a
man; that he would not hunt any
more, give grushkas, eat talk
usha or whalemeat, or wage war,
etc. In case of a woman, that
she would not wear nice parkas,
beautiful amber, suklis, beads,
dance at igrushkas, sew bidarcas,
eat whale meat, sarana or ber
ries in seal oil, (morosha, g’as
nika, or malina, considered deli
cacies) or comfort a husband.

Continually working for the ad
vancement of domestic electric re
frigeration, engineers of Frigidaire
Corporation have made it possible
for this Genera) Motors subsidiary
this year to present a household
refrigerator with many refinements
and improvements, according to an
announcement by the local repre
sentative. Economy, efficiency and
beauty have been the guiding stars
of these engineers and as a result
the Frigidaire of today operates at
much lower cost, freezes more ice
cubes faster, has an interior and
exterior finish of durable white i
porcelain-on-steel and provides
more shelf space than before.
