and therefore you see a man with ten children or more, strong.

And similarly, the Bedouin Arabs there, a man does not die among them until he sees his offspring a large number. If the matter were reversed, that a Furawi married an Arab woman, or a Furawi married a Furawi, you would see his lineage weak, light, and only a few and rare would survive.

And this indicates that the country and the race have a characteristic that is not found elsewhere.

Because every offspring born of two parents of the same kind and from the same country was stronger, more robust, and healthier, and you see that in whom the matter is reversed, he is weak, corrupt, of light constitution. And I saw them in Darfur and Wadai, they resort to the health of the child by taking blood. They take it when the child completes forty days of its birth, and they incise its belly from both sides, meaning the right and the left, with many incisions, and precious blood comes out. And when it completes three months, they do this to it. If they do not do it, they throw it on him, the blood kills him. And the most common childhood illness among them is the illness called Abu Lisan (the tongue disease), which affects the child and its throat, or at the uvula, a growth occurs there like a sparrow's tongue at the base of the tongue, and it cries because it is cut. And the image of the instrument they cut it with is like this.
