content: From card: "For injection. Small at end. "Gourd for anal injections called Mbo. Into this is poured a decoction of red pepper or of certain barks found in the forest. The gourd is then inserted in place, the man takes a position in which the liquid can flow into the bowels, and removes his finger from the hole in the bulb when the contents enter the bowels. This form of medication is resorted to very frequently.""
