Indians also believed that, if taken
in large quantities just before death,
the jade-nostrum would preserve

While jade had long been used in
the Old World for ornaments and
utensils, its curative" power was
something new. Returning Spani-
ards took the remedy to Spain, and
the stone became known by its
curious name, piedra de ijada. In
