Olbbechts] the swimmer MANUSCRIPT 283 



The medicine is a decoction of the following plants :1 



t'e"l9''ldi, Vitis aestivalis Michx., summer grape, pigeon grape. 



u^'nasu/oa, Ampelopsis cordata Michx. 



k*a'n9st"t'a, Cornus jlorida L., flowering dogwood. 



vnt^kwa, Nyssa multifiora Wang., black gum. 



i;DO"'lano°\ Amelanchier canadensis (L.) Medic, shadbush; service- 

 berry. 



nQ-'DO'cwe'^'ya, Oxydendune arhoreum (L.) DC, sorrel-tree, sour- 

 wood. 



The roots are taken from the east side in the case of the trees; 

 from the vines, runners that grow out toward the east are chosen. 



The roots are put into a vessel of water [which has been dipped out 

 of the stream], and the whole is boiled down until the liquid is nearly 

 evaporated, when the vessel is taken from the fire and taken down 

 to the stream to be filled again. The roots are then boiled down once 

 more, and so on for four consecutive times, after which the medicine 

 is administered to the patient. Chicken and fish are rigorously 

 tabooed in [all diarrhea cases, as these animals, judging from their 

 loose feces, seem to be chronically suffering from this very ailment].
