También estas pencas de maguee son buenas para fregar con ellas las espaldas, para que no se sientan los azotes.
\n.128. Hay una yerba medicinal que se llama cihuapatli. Es mata. Tiene muchos virgultos, tan altos como un estado. Tiene las hojas algo cenicientas, anchuelas y puntiagudas. Tiene mucha ramas. Tiene las flores amarillas, y otras blancas. Hace semilla, como la semilla de los bledos. Las hojas desta mata son provechosas cocidas con agua, bien hervidas. La mujer preñada que ya está para parir, bebe esta agua para parir bien, sin pena. Luego le sale sangre, y es señal que ya quiere nacer la criatura. Bebe otra poca. Con esto nace luego la criatura. Y las raíces desta mata son delgadas y largas, y muchas. En la sobrehaz son negras, y de dentro son amarillas. Tiene un olor desabrido.
