THE SWIMMER MANUSCRIPT 



217 



Having recited the prayer, the medicine man takes a snp of the 

 Uquid, and applying his Hps to the sore spot, sucks the place and then 

 discharges the liquid from his mouth into another empty bowl kept 

 ready for the purpose. This is repeated four times, after which the 

 medicine man examines the liquid in the bowl to find the intrusive 

 object which has caused the trouble. When found it is carefully 

 hidden away as already described. (No. 3, p. 173.) 



If necessary, the whole ceremony is repeated four times before 

 noon, by which time, the medicine man asserts, the hidden coal, 

 splinter, or pebble is always brought to light and relief accomplished.

Now then! Ha, now thou hast come to listen. Weasel, thou pow- 

 erful wizard. 



Now then ! Ha, now thou hast come to put thy feet upon the white 

 cloth. Now thou hast come and pulled out the bile. Ha, now thou 

 hast come to take it far away, and to scatter it in the Great Lake. 



Thou art a wizard indeed. Relief has been caused. Sharply! 



This (is) to make them vomit bile. Black gum, white alder, red 

 alder, hazelnut (are used) aU together. Beads, as many as four 

 different kinds: Yellow ones, red ones, black ones, white ones.
