Formula of Medicine for Pregnant Women (Deer's Medicine.) 1

They say, deer, you do this way when the young grow in your body. All day and all night you chew this brush. You drop your young without harm even in rocky places. You do this way for the sake of people. It is your medicine that does it. By the use of your medicine it will happen the same way to me.
