Now, then! (and) now you both in your turn, you have come to
listen, you Two Rod Men; quickly you have come and halted. You
have come and pulled out the important thing from the bone. He
has been raised up, and will remain in that position. The soul has
been made pleasing. Relief has been caused.
EXPLANATION
This formula is for the cure of pains in the limbs, resembling
pains, but ascribed to the influence of the Heat spirit.
By an oversight [of a copyist in the course of transcription] the color
of tlie siHiit invoked in tlie first paragraph is not given, but as the
[disease causer] is Heat, the remedial spirit is probably the spirit of
Cold, viz, the Blue Man of the Cold Land.
No medicine is used; the medicine man merely rubs the limbs of the
patient with his hands previously warmed, while reciting the formula,
blowing four times at the end of each paragraph. The ceremony is
four times repeated.
