[[Underline]] Dah [[/Underline]] - If one's membership in the snake society is doubted, tie this plant in a loop, and when the snake dance using the small girl acrobats is being given, the girl will die. A milder revenge is to hold the plant, when the girl will fall and break her leg. It can't be healed unless the loop is undone, which might be possible if one's membership is acknowledged and a gift of kola given.

[[Underline]] Glakboo [[/Underline]] - medicine carried on deer's horn, made from leaf of the tree that never has a snake in it. If you rub it on your hands, and then touch a snake, the snake dies. A leaf placed on a snake causes it to become as inanimate as a cutlass. To make the medicine, burn three pieces of the stick, mash it, rub with palm oil, and put in deer's horn. Poisonous to man.

Any time we want another lesson, we were told, we must give the snake man a kola and an iron, and further instructions will be given.

These two lessons took three hours last night, and two this morning. We were escorted back to our palaver kitchen by the whole society, with me proudly carrying the horn of the medicine as symbol of my new rank. One man carried the cassada snake, others beat drums and sang. We gave them the money for a chicken dinner, and four more irons as a sign of permission that they could go home now.
