...and you've got the benefit of the clue and the number of letters. Imagine how much harder it is for those of us who don't!

I concur with you Bullfrog.
However in this case I will attempt to explain things.
SHAM - Chinese dynasty

Answer is SHAMAN which is a medicine man.

Sorry! There were so many previous replies to various ST 4426 queries, that I (wrongly) assumed that other poster would know what I was referring to.

Finding the ST Cryptic rather annoying of late - clearly a new setter with a warped mind.
