Indian medicine. 



Minnows (Tigoma sp.), called by the Indians, "shillah." Placer 

 County, Cal. 21,423. Collected by S. Powers. It is pretended 

 by the Indian doctor that this is a cure for diseases; so, after 

 sucking the affected part a long time, he vomits up one of these 

 minnows, and assures the patient that he will now recover. 

 Nishiinans Indians, Bear Eiver.
