Abstract
"The medicine man repeated some incantation. When he finished the assistant went over it and then the chorus came in. This was kept up for some minutes. It was the prelude. Then the medicine man went to the sick squaw who lay upon the ground apparently in great pain. He began to knead her with his fists. He began at the feet and made his way slowly upward until he reached the head, the squaw in the meantime moaning piteously. The kneading was brought to a close at the left ear. There the medicine man immediately placed his mouth and exerted himself to the utmost as if trying to draw something forth. Suddenly he pressed his hands together between his mouth and the squaw's ear, as if he had captured the evil sprit in the form of something winged."
