HOW TO SHRINK A HEAD



Perhaps inspired by adventurer and filmmaker Lewis Cotlow's seminal book, "Amazon Headhunters" published the same year by Signet Books, this short article from the Australian digest magazine CAVALCADE (January, 1953) provides step-by-step instructions on how the "jibaro" of the Amazon Basin practiced the art of head shrinking. The subject of the article is typical of its time by adding a sensationalized  tone to titillate readers.
