Tjoela-warak. The horn of the rhinoceros is worshipped by the Javans. Pieces of the horn are carried when travelling to ward against accidents. The worship of the horn is probably based on its great medicinal value. When the horn is rubbed on a soft stone with some water, one gets a milky substance, which is a good cure gainst snakebites and rabies, as well as all plant-based poisons. This juice, when it is mixed with water and taken internally, strengthens the body and removes all bad particles. The thick juice, without water, is successfully used against scabies of the skin.
