Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate and to try to account for the differential use of clinic facilities by the inhabitants of the Mescalero Indian Reservation. Basically, the author uses quantitative techniques (mainly Chisquare) to test the associations between a measure of the frequency of use of the Mescalero clinic and a number of variables or indicators that characterize differences in the population. In addition to this study of clinic use, Kunstadter provides a rather complete ethnographic outline of the present-day Mescalero as well as a lengthy review of their history. The Mescalero Indian Reservation contains descendants of the Mescalero, Chiricahua, and Lipan Apaches and the author has not distinguished amongst these in most of his discussions. The source has, therefore, been marked as if it pertained only to the Mescalero. The original reproduction of the photographs was so poor that virtually no use may be made of them. They have not been marked for category numbers, but may be found in Category 116, pp. vii-xxix.
