FHEE TRANSLATION 



Now, then! It ib the Black Man from the Night Land who has 

 caused it. Surely, it is the Bi^ Bitch that has caused it. 



Now, then! Now you two have come to listen, you Two Red 

 Men, you wizards, you are staying in the Sun Land. It is the Big 

 Bitch that has caused it. Swiftly you tv/o have come to cause him 

 to relinquish his grasp. Kelicf itself has heen caused at the same 

 time. You two have made it so for him. 



This is the medicine whenever they have them shaking. (Of) the 

 small mountain-growing tohaccolike (plant), a very small portion 

 steeped in a small cymling is to treat (them) with. It is just to be 

 blown on them. 



EXPLANATION 



This formula is for the treatment of a disease in which the arms 

 shake and tremble violently, as in some forms of paralysis. The 

 ailment is, however, stated to be of a temporary character. 



No explanation as to the cause could be given beyond what is 

 contained in the formula itself, according to which the "Black Man" 

 in the Night Land is held responsible for the trouble. [The identity 

 of the Black Man is discussed on page 24.
