EXPLANATION<br />
[This is one of the three formulas published by Mr. Mooney<br />
in his interesting account of the Cherokee River Cult (p. 8).] It<br />
is recited when "going to water," for obtaining long life, before<br />
eating the new com, etc. The general ceremony is the same as<br />
the one described in Nos. 43 and 93, but in this case the medicine<br />
man also uses the beads.<br />
When the medicine man takes a whole family to the water he<br />

the movements of the beads foreshadow sickness for any member<br />
of the party he afterwards performs another ceremony to learn<br />
whether that person will recover or die, and also, if possible, to<br />
avert the threatened evil.<br />
[According to the oral directions given by Ay.] the beads must<br />
be laid down upon a yard of cloth; [both] cloth [and beads] afterwards<br />
become the fee of the medicine man.<br />
