An' put dat togethah an' take it an' shut it up in a [pasteboard] box, or eithah a little small wooden box. Somepin lak, yo' know, one of dese little ole small wooden boxes made about dat round [size], yo' see, an' shut it up in dere. An' dey tell me, yo' kin take dat an' turn it bottom up- wards, an' bury it right undahneat' of a person's steps, an' it will stop dem from menstr'ation. [Box is a symbol for a coffin.]
