Entry 3830
[This is a brief note made of a rite on an untranscribed cylinder:] ["Wood sawyer, boiled with lard, makes salve to untie.] [Memphis, Tenn., (966), 1561:3.]
[I have divided this section into two subsections: EVERYDAY BLOOD and HER PRIVATE TIME. Neither subsection holds all material on its subject. Such mat- ters as drawing blood from a witch, the bleeding corpse, and others had to be classified elsewhere. Even menstrual blood will be found scattered throughout HOODO0.]
Entry 3831
Take some of yore blood, yo' know. Take de blood an' take it...
(What blood?)
From de woman, yo' know, when dey birth a baby. Take de blood from dis woman - yo' git chance to steal some of dat blood. An' take dat, yo' know dat piece, an' den go ahead an' bury it in de graveyard. An' hit'll stop a woman, keep a woman - nevah will come no mo'. Nevah will come, an' fin'ly firs' thing yo' know she'll be daid. (This is - part of your monthly rag?) [My question is misleading. This is def- initely childbirth blood.] Any kinda monthly rag.
