Laau. A general name for wliat yrew out of the 

 ground, liut often used as the name of medi- 

 cine. The ancient Hawaiian medicines were 

 numerous, and consisted mostly of mixtures 

 of leaves of trees, bark, roots, etc. Some 

 were excedingly nauseous, while other were 

 very acrid, but the physicians dejiended more 

 on their enchantments, their invocations to 

 the gods and to the sacrifices offered, than to 

 the virtue of their medicines as such.
