must call in some of his colored friends, and
must be sure that none of his enemies are
about to see what is going on. The friends
are drawn up around the kettle. The bone
and the weeds are brought forth, and the
latter distributed in equal particles among
his friends. The victim holds the bone in his
own hands until the water begins to boil,
when it is dropped into the kettle. One by
one the company silently drop handful of
roots into the boiling water. Just at this
juncture an old woman rushes into the crowd,
bearing in her hand the bleeding head of a
freshly-slain chicken, which she thrusts into
the kettle. The old woman then starts off in
a slow and measured tread around the fire,
followed by the rest of the company; who
follow in procession by single file, until soon
song is started by one of the company, and
then all join hands and dance around the
boiling cauldron, singing and jumping in a
manner that would remind one of the witches
in Macbeth. After these performances are
over the kettle must be set aside and the
crowd disperse. Next morning the afflicted
one must bathe himself in the charmed liquid,
and if his case can be durable by any human
agency, he will forthwith begin to heal.
