Entry 3891
Take a cloth, yo' know lak a woman menstrate, an' yo' kin take dat cloth an' get [go to] a fresh-dug grave, an' wrap dat cloth in dat. An' dig dat dust up, an' put dat cloth in dere, an' put dat dust back down on dat cloth, see. When dis cloth rots undah dis dust, dat person will pine away to nuthin.
The source links the cloth to menstruation in the instruction; the later pining-away statement is a claim. [go to] remains editorial.
