English translation: My name is Edward Kuyan, I come from Kiserian in the Loongiito district. This medicine is Endemelwa, it is a very good medicine we Maasai use. We give it to small children to help if a child has a stomach ache. It is also a medicine for fever. If you catch a fever, take this medicine and it heals all the symptoms. This can also help children with the whole body, if the child is fed it will help (the immune system) because it is a very good medicine. This medicine is called Endemelwa, and it is very good.
