(that very thing) for him. Ha, thou hast taken it away to the<br />

Night Land, to remain. It will never return. Relief has been caused<br />

at the same time.<br />

(b) Now then! Ha, now thou hast come to listen, Red Raven;<br />

they have placed thee above (etc.).<br />

This is the medicine when they are sick with sharp pains. For<br />

sucking, the flowers of old tobacco are to be used. They are just to<br />

be held in the month (i. e., chewed), and wild parsnip and the small<br />

tobaccolike (plant), they along with it.<br />

And if anything be mixed with it (i. e., with the saliva, after<br />

sucking), it should be put down into the mud, as far as an overhand<br />

(deep).<br />
