  Listen 
  ! 
  In 
  the 
  great 
  lake 
  the 
  intruder 
  reposes. 
  Quickly 
  he 
  has 
  risen 
  up 
  there. 
  

   Swiftly 
  he 
  has 
  come 
  and 
  stealthily 
  put 
  himself 
  (under 
  the 
  sick 
  man). 
  

  

  Listen! 
  Ha! 
  Now 
  you 
  two 
  have 
  drawn 
  near 
  to 
  hearken, 
  there 
  in 
  the 
  Sun 
  Land 
  

   you 
  repose. 
  O 
  Little 
  Men, 
  O 
  great 
  anida'wehi! 
  The 
  intruder 
  has 
  risen 
  up 
  there 
  in 
  

   the 
  great 
  lake. 
  Quickly 
  you 
  two 
  have 
  lifted 
  up 
  the 
  intruder. 
  His 
  paths 
  have 
  laid 
  

   themselves 
  down 
  toward 
  the 
  direction 
  whence 
  he 
  came. 
  Let 
  him 
  never 
  look 
  back 
  

   (toward 
  us). 
  When 
  he 
  stops 
  to 
  rest 
  at 
  the 
  four 
  gaps 
  you 
  will 
  drive 
  him 
  roughly 
  

   along. 
  Now 
  he 
  has 
  plunged 
  into 
  the 
  great 
  lake 
  from 
  which 
  he 
  came. 
  There 
  he 
  is 
  

   compelled 
  to 
  remain, 
  never 
  to 
  look 
  back. 
  Ha! 
  there 
  let 
  liim 
  rest. 
  (Yu!)

  Explanation. 
  

  

  This 
  formula, 
  from 
  A'yu 
  n 
  ini's 
  manuscript, 
  is 
  used 
  in 
  treating 
  

   a 
  disease 
  known 
  as 
  Dalani, 
  literally, 
  '"yellow." 
  From 
  the 
  vague 
  

   description 
  of 
  symptoms 
  given 
  by 
  the 
  doctors, 
  it 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  an 
  

   aggravated 
  form 
  of 
  biliousness, 
  probably 
  induced 
  by 
  late 
  suppers 
  and 
  

   bad 
  food. 
  According 
  to 
  the 
  Indian 
  theory 
  it 
  is 
  caused 
  by 
  revenge- 
  

   ful 
  animals, 
  especially 
  by 
  the 
  terrapin 
  and 
  its 
  cousin, 
  the 
  turtle. 
  

  

  The 
  doctors 
  recognize 
  several 
  forms 
  of 
  the 
  disease, 
  this 
  variety 
  

   being 
  distinguished 
  as 
  the 
  " 
  black 
  dalani 
  (Dalani 
  U 
  n 
  nage'i) 
  and 
  con- 
  

   sidered 
  the 
  most 
  dangerous. 
  In 
  this 
  form 
  of 
  dalani, 
  according 
  to 
  

   their 
  account, 
  the 
  navel 
  and 
  abdomen 
  of 
  the 
  patient 
  swell, 
  the 
  ends 
  

   of 
  his 
  fingers 
  become 
  black, 
  dark 
  circles 
  appear 
  about 
  his 
  eyes, 
  and 
  

   the 
  throat 
  contracts 
  spasmodically 
  and 
  causes 
  him 
  to 
  fall 
  down 
  sud- 
  

   denly 
  insensible. 
  A'yu 
  n 
  ini's 
  method 
  of 
  treatment 
  is 
  to 
  rub 
  the 
  

   breast 
  and 
  abdomen 
  of 
  the 
  patient 
  with 
  the 
  hands, 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  

   previoiisly 
  rubbed 
  together 
  in 
  the 
  warm 
  infusion 
  of 
  wild 
  cherry 
  

   (ta'ya) 
  bark. 
  The 
  song 
  is 
  sung 
  while 
  rubbing 
  the 
  hands 
  together 
  in 
  

   the 
  liquid, 
  and 
  the 
  prayer 
  is 
  repeated 
  while 
  rubbing 
  the 
  swollen 
  abdo- 
  

   men 
  of 
  the 
  patient. 
  The 
  operation 
  may 
  be 
  repeated 
  several 
  times 
  

   on 
  successive 
  days. 
  

  

  The 
  song 
  at 
  the 
  beginning 
  has 
  no 
  meaning 
  and 
  is 
  sung 
  in 
  a 
  low 
  

   plaintive 
  lullaby 
  tone, 
  ending 
  with 
  a 
  sharp 
  Yu! 
  The 
  prayer 
  pos- 
  

   sesses 
  a 
  special 
  interest, 
  as 
  it 
  brings 
  out 
  several 
  new 
  points 
  in 
  the 
  

   Cherokee 
  mythologic 
  theory 
  of 
  medicine.
