Volume 5 · printed page 4413 · New Orleans, La.

Well, you take flour dough. Understand, take flour dough - take a little urinate tha' choo use [to work the dough]. An' let that dough dry out whare [where] you kin grind it into a powder-like. Then after you are outside [your house], gone away from your home - do you know the dog burs? Have you ever heard tell of dog burs? It's a little sharp bur.

(A little bur that sticks in you?)

[Dog bur is the hounds-tongue, "a coarse weed (Cynoglossum officinale)having tongue shaped leaves and reddish flowers succeeded by nutlets covered with barb- ed prickles."] That's right. Put 5 burs inside of that dough with that [urine] and then when you go out, why you gon'a take that [dough] and lay it under the bottom of your steps. There's no man will fool wit your woman while you're gone.

The informant says 'a little urinate tha' choo use'; [urine] is a separate editorial identification. The preparation and control outcome remain source claims.
