FREE TRANSLATION
Four stalks of the fern growing on the mountain, the very tops
being taken and cut off; (this is) also a medicine, when they discharge
pale blood (and) slimy matter from the bowels. This medicine should
be steeped, and four (coals of) fire should be put into (the infusion).
EXPLANATION
[This is another one of the Ut. prescriptions on which even Ay.
was not able to give any more information to Mr. Mooney. tGo°'*li
is the generic name for all the varieties of fern, and the classifying
expression "oaou-'si e'li" "growing on the mountain," is too
vague a one to allow of the exact identification of the species.]
