To Cure Them with, When They Have Been Shot 



FREE TRANSLATION 



This, in the beginning, has to be sung: 



Gu'ya' (4 times), in the middle of the rocks Gvya', Gu"ya', 

 Gv'ya' (3 times), in the middle of the earth Gu'ya (3 times). 

 Gu'ya' (3 times), in the middle of the woods Gu'ya (3 times). 

 Gu'ya' (3 times), in the middle of the water Gu'ya (3 times). 



And this now has to be recited: Now, then! Ha, on high, in the 

 center thou art staying, Brown Dog. Ha, now, thou hast come to let 

 thy path down. Thou hast come to halt in the middle of the spot 

 where the blood is spouting. Now, it has become thy saliva. Relief 

 has been caused forthwith. Now, then! 



To cure them with when they have been shot. A buzzard feather 

 cut off at both ends (should be used) to blow with. And hickory 

 (bark) should be chewed. Where the bullet has hit bim,^^ down and 

 soft feathers of the buzzard should be plastered. Rigorously re- 

 stricted are: Tobacco during four days; (both) they who cure and also 

 they who are being cured should abstain from it for a considerable 

 time; and from salt also (during) four (days); and from warm (food) 

 he ^^ must also abstain for four days (this latter restriction referring 

 only to) those who have been shot. Should no buzzard feather be 

 available, the hollow Gerardia is (to be used) to blow them. 



' 21 The patient.
