Las niguas que nacen en las espaldas, que en la lengua se llaman cualócatl, curarse han no lavándose ni bañándose, y algunos se curan con la yerba que se llama toloa, secada al sol y hecha polvos, puesta en los dichos nacidos. Y si con esto se ablandaren, echarse han los polvos de la raíz que se nombra iztacpatli. Y si con esto no sanare, cortallo en cruz y sacarse han de dentro ciertas sabandijas a manera de aradores; y juntarse han las yerbas aquí nombradas, molidas, mezclándolas con el cisco y cal, y poniéndolas encima; y sobre todo se ha de poner una bilma de ocotzote. Y algunos curan desto con la penca del maguey, cortando un pedazo a manera de parche, y poniéndola sobre el nacido, y abriéndolo por medio para que quede descubierta la boca del nacido, y tomar un poco de oxite, y ponerlo en la propia boca del nacido, de suerte que poniendo fuego sobre el oxite quede quemado el nacido, y hecho esto se pondrá una bilma de
