Men, the Thunder Boys, to cast out the disease. Here again we find
the regular four stages in the cure: In the first the Red Men with the
red switches chase out the intruder and drive him out into the yard;
in the next they drive him across the mountain ridge; in the third
they pursue him across the other ridge; and in the fourth they throw
him beyond the great lake (in the west?), where all disease is banned.
s9*Di;-'li is a place name, probably somewhere in nQ"Do-'yi, the abode
of the Thunder Boys, but the meaning of it has now been lost.
