Ʋ̟ownuchi

The M.H.W has served and cured the ailments of the Dofvai for many years, mainly focusing on what someone would be unable to care for themselves, this can involve cuts, infections and setting broken bones. The most common injuries or ailments are infections gained from cuts in mud, splinters and all other ways sickness can infiltrate the body. For a long time infections where thought of as a death sentence, with limbs often being removed or victims outright dying.
This would all change with the work of Weu Bute who pioneered the application of ʋ̟ownuchi in medical treatment. His work would start after observing how after bread would be infected with a green mouldy fur no other mould would attach to the bread. After observing this many times he would take a sample from a loaf and after opening a wound on his dog and covering it in dirt so it became infected he would apply the mould and wrap the wound in a cleared bandage. The dog would have mould and bandages re-applied for many days until the wound closed up and it was well again. Over the course of this experiment Bute took notes of the condition and healing of the scar, with it starting off very red (a sign of infection) but return to a normal colour. The experiment would be repeated many times with a varying cast of animals, including an “Humapfa iwuhcha awkuwfa amp takx ðuðuwku tuwk buhn iwuchafuldi [infernal little creature that keeps shitting in my garden]”. 
Eventually he would take his notes and findings to the Mefaifohi Huwnubnu Weufucho, explaining his findings and that he believed applying the mould to a wound early enough could prevent an infection from progressing to the whole body. At first they where sceptical, with his writings looking like the ramblings of a mad man but after he ran an experiment that doctors of the M.H.W could oversee they gained confidence and would eventually trial it on a human, a young boy who had cut himself after falling from a tree. The wound was cleaned and bandaged and repeat treatments where carried out over the following weeks and he would eventually make a full recovery. After this the larger medical apparatus of the republic would look into ways to apply ʋ̟ownuchi into regular medical treatments. 
The mould has some pretty major drawbacks, with it only being effective up to a few hours after a wound is infected and being extremely difficult to produce in large quantities, with hundreds of loaves being left in humid and warm areas outside a clinic in Jadʋcicho and samples being moved out to smaller centres across the island. Bute would be rewarded with a large sum of money in exchange for his service to the state and would go down as a medical hero.
