Java. Scrapings of a rhino tooth can be applied to a spot on the body where a splinter has entered the body, which can no longer be seen. The meaning is obvious. With the same expectation one drinks water, in which you have put a rhino tooth, in which water has been transferred the soul of the tooth and with that its power. The same remedy is used when a bullet is stuck in the body, or when one has swallowed a piece of bone, fish bone or something like that.
