THE SWIMMER MANUSCRIPT 



265 



Now, then! Ha now, in the Great Water, in the Night Land thou art 

 staying; (thou art staying) where the foam is piled high, thou Yellow 

 Killdee Bird. Right now thou hast arisen, facing us. Thou never 

 failest in anything, thou wizard. Where the Yellow is, thou hast 

 come to fan in its very center with thy two (wings); where the 

 Yellow is, thou hast come to scatter it. Relief has been caused! 



EXPLANATION 



This is another formula for a mild form of navel Dalo''ni. The 

 medicine consists of a warm infusion of the bruised bark of tsvH'mo"', 

 Carpinus caroliniana Walt., American hornbeam, blue beech, water 

 beech, ironwood, which is drunk by the patient after the medicine 

 man has recited the formula. There are usually four applications, 

 the effect usually being to relieve the patient without vomiting or 

 purging. In preparing the medicine the medicine man bruises the 

 bark with a stone or club before stripping it from the tree, and then 

 putting the bark into a vessel of cold water dipped from the stream, 

 returns to the house and warms the liquid over the fire.
