The above interesting document
was received by Governor Mayes,
and not being versed in "sweat
roots" and especially where the
"sell" in such a root was a little
too much of "sell." He turn ed
over the letter to Cornsilk, the
medicine man of the Tahleouah
band of Cherokees, and the root
with such "sell" being also un-
known to him, he held a council
of war with Turtle, who is the
chiefs interpreter and a celebrated
root doctor, and for the good of
mankind they concluded to have
the document published in the
Tahlequah Arrow, with the order
that the young warriors and other
medicine men make a diligent
search for this Vegetable" re-
sembling "rotton wood" with
sells" and having a ''gumey

nor or the medicine man at the
next new moon. This Montana
man seems to be brother to OF
