MOONET l
OlbrechtsJ THE SWIMMER MANUSCRIPT 217
Having recited the prayer, the medicine man takes a snp of the
Uquid, and applying his Hps to the sore spot, sucks the place and then
discharges the liquid from his mouth into another empty bowl kept
ready for the purpose. This is repeated four times, after which the
medicine man examines the liquid in the bowl to find the intrusive
object which has caused the trouble. When found it is carefully
hidden away as already described. (No. 3, p. 173.)
If necessary, the whole ceremony is repeated four times before
noon, by which time, the medicine man asserts, the hidden coal,
splinter, or pebble is always brought to light and relief accomplished.
