Note 41 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

The seventh cane: this cane is called the Uleohiu.41 This cane was discovered by Kulua and Paiaalani. While Kulua was lying very sick with chills and with sores covering his body, Paiaalani came to him and asked, “Why are you lying in the house these days and not going out?” Kulua answered him, “I am sick indeed!” The other asked, “What is your sickness?” “Sores and chills,” answered the sick person. “That disease is easily cured if you will get that cane called Uleohiu; boil it in hot water, drink some, rub some on your skin, and you will be cured.” It is insipid when eaten, and is also soft.
