OlbrechtsJ THE SWIMMER MANUSCRIPT 265
Now, then! Ha now, in the Great Water, in the Night Land thou art
staying; (thou art staying) where the foam is piled high, thou Yellow
Killdee Bird. Right now thou hast arisen, facing us. Thou never
failest in anything, thou wizard. Where the Yellow is, thou hast
come to fan in its very center with thy two (wings); where the
Yellow is, thou hast come to scatter it. Relief has been caused!
EXPLANATION
This is another formula for a mild form of navel Dalo''ni. The
medicine consists of a warm infusion of the bruised bark of tsvH'mo"',
Carpinus caroliniana Walt., American hornbeam, blue beech, water
beech, ironwood, which is drunk by the patient after the medicine
man has recited the formula. There are usually four applications,
the effect usually being to relieve the patient without vomiting or
purging. In preparing the medicine the medicine man bruises the
bark with a stone or club before stripping it from the tree, and then
putting the bark into a vessel of cold water dipped from the stream,
returns to the house and warms the liquid over the fire.
