I gave him some with the _directions_. He returned again very soon after (in the same night) [and] found her asleep. He then rubbed her forehead, opposite her heart, the _pit_ of the stomach, and the palms of both hands. Then he awoke her. The next day as my comrades were desirous of revenging themselves, they broached the conversation publicly and had the laugh in their turn. The women had the _best_ at the offset, but as they could not deny the other charges, they became extremely confused and vexed. A quarrel ensued, but my comrads exultingly told them, "We can turn and twist you _now_ about our fingers as we please!" And {33} they did too. For the women both _giving suck_ at that time, thought it was their children that were handling them, as they used but _one_ finger, and gently. The other story is thus. A man that I have with me at present, in consequence of some _slips_ of his _rib_, had frequent and some severe quarrels with her. She began to hate him and wanted to go with her _paramour_. The husband though vexed and confused _did not want_ to lose her. He began by soothing, coaxing, and caressing her. But she always bawled out as loud as she could that everybody might hear, though it were at midnight, "Thou white dog! Leave me alone. Why art thou fumbling at me?" The more she became averse the more he coaxed, and she bawling out, "Don't _slabber_ me!" every time he attempted to kiss her. And she was watching a fair opportunity to slip off to her lover (an Indian). At last he lodged his complaints to me and asked if I could not _assist_ him. I gave him some of this _medicine_ with the usual directions. And [I] told him as soon as he had executed all properly, to come away and leave her and not return to her for a couple of days so that in her turn she might suffer. He had not long left her 'till she called for him as if wanting something. And like a goose he went immediately, though I done all I could to make him pay her in her own coin. Since that time they live as you see them. _But_ if you doubt of this also, you can easily make the experiment. Chuse any one you please, and let her be ever so coy, and shy, you will bring her as you want!!! Shortly after this I made some general enquiries of the man latterly in question. But he would not avow [to it], though from his confusion and [the] precipetency with which he answered, I believe there is _something_ in the business. It is with this medicine (continued the half breed) that the young men do completely and universally succeed with all the women that please them. [Effecting and Avoiding Spells]
