oS:cHTs] 'i'HE SWIMMER MANUSCRIPT 209 This is the Medicine (for) When Their Breast Swells Yuha-ahi (7 times). Sharply FREE TRANSLATION Now then! the important thing is staying in the great lake. Quickly it has arisen, facing us. Quicldy he '^^ has put it under (the patient). Now then! Ha, now you two have come to listen, you tv/o little men, you two powerful wizards; in the sun land you two are staying. From the great lake the important thing has arisen facing this way. Quickly you two have forced the important thing to get on its feet. His paths lie stretched toward the direction from where he started and he shall never look back again. As he stops to rest at the four successive gaps, it will happen to him that, roughly indeed, you two will push him along as you go by. You two have caused him to plunge back again into the very same lake from which he arose. There he is now lodged to stay. He will never look back. Right there he is compelled to stay. Sharply! This is the medicine (for when) their breast swells. Fire is not to be put down, however. explanation [This formula has been edited with notes and comments by Mr. Mooney in his SFC, pp. 364-365.1 The only facts of interest which I found in Mooney 's notes which were not incorporated in the paper just mentioned are that Da'kwa= Dt!i, to cure the same ailment, used a warm infusion of the following herbs DiGa"'y's9'r)i', Collinsonia canadensis L., rich weed, stone root, horse balm; fna'Do" GaN^Ga', Camptosorus rhizophyllus (L.) Links, walking leaf; skwo"'! u*'t'ona\ Asarum canadense L., asarabacca, wild ginger; skwo*'li;stt''Ga, Hepatica acutiloba DC, liverleaf. This infusion he applied four times before noon for four successive mornings, giving the patient some of the liquid to drink each time to cause vomiting. The whole plant was used, excepting in the case of the DtGa-'y's9*r)i\ of which either the root or leaf might be taken. ^8 The disease-spirit.

208 BUKEAIT OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [Buu.. 00<br />

before noon. The treatment last^ Init a siui^le morninp: and tJie only<br />

[The last sentence but one illustrates in an interestins? niamier<br />

how in tJiis case an error in writing the directions down was corrected:<br />

The medicine man had written tliat "fasting was to be observed all<br />

day," but corrects this statement later on by sa>dng that he only<br />

means "until noon," i. o., until after the completion of the final<br />

ceremony. ]<br />
