FREE TRANSLATION 



Four stalks of the fern growing on the mountain, the very tops 

 being taken and cut off; (this is) also a medicine, when they discharge 

 pale blood (and) slimy matter from the bowels. This medicine should 

 be steeped, and four (coals of) fire should be put into (the infusion). 



EXPLANATION 



[This is another one of the Ut. prescriptions on which even Ay. 

 was not able to give any more information to Mr. Mooney. tGo°'*li 

 is the generic name for all the varieties of fern, and the classifying 

 expression "oaou-'si e'li" "growing on the mountain," is too 

 vague a one to allow of the exact identification of the species.]
