Note A = Masseuse <strong>and</strong> midwife make small wages <strong>and</strong><br />
they are not fulltime but rather part time specialists who<br />
also engage in other farm <strong>and</strong> marketing activity. The<br />
same is true of the leaf doctor <strong>and</strong> shaman, both almost<br />
invariably engage in farming <strong>and</strong> fishing; but their<br />
potential profits from healing, magic, <strong>and</strong> sorcery are<br />
much greater.<br />
