A covenant was entered into which was written with menstruous blood, because blood was the announcer of the female period of pubescence.

Such a taboo is strictly similar to those which surround a sacred chief or his property, a menstruous woman or a homicide, rendering them dangerous to themselves and to all who approach them.

If it be taken inwardly, it stops the spitting of Blood, and the Dysentery or Bloody-Flux; as also the H�morrhoidal and Menstruous Fluxes; the Dose being from half a Dram to two Drams, in Knot-Grass-Water.

Amongst the Maoris, if a man touched a menstruous woman, he would be taboo 'an inch thick.'

God's own precept,—“Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornaments of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth, thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence,” Isa. xxx.
