NOTES. 
585, 1. nayiins hissudksas: another man than the conjurers of the 
tribe. The objective case shows that ma/shitk has to be regarded 
here as the participle of an impersonal verb: ma/sha nfish, and ma/sha 
nu, it ails me, I am sick. 
585, 2. yd-uks is remedy in general, spiritual as well as material. Here 
a tamanuash song is meant by it, which, when sung by the conjurer, will 
furnish him the certainty if his patient is a relapse or not. There are 
several of these medicine-songs, but all of them (nénuk hi’k shui’sh) 
when consulted point out the spider-medicine as the one to apply in this 
case. The spider’s curing-instrument is that small piece of buckskin 
(uba-ush) which has to be inserted under the patient’s skin. It is 
called the spider’s medicine because the spider-song is sung during its 
application.
