There was an old Indian chief who was having health problems. So, he went to the tribal medicine man for a cure. After a preliminary exam, the shaman took a lenght of rawhide thong,and soaked it in some mixture he had concocted. When thoroughly saturated, the took the thong and tied several knots in it, about 1" apart. He gave the old chief the thong, with instructions: "You cut, or bite, off a length of one knot. Do this until this is all gone. You will be cured."
So the old chief took his prescription and followed the directions to the last knot. But his condition did not improve.
"You are no better?" asked the medicine man.
"No," responded the chief. "The thong is ended, but the malady lingers on."
