Medicine Man pokes & prods, prompting howls of pain from the chief.
“Hmmm.” says Medicine Man, “Serious problem. Take this strip of leather, bite off a piece every day, chew it thoroughly and swallow it. Come back after next full moon and see me.”

Chief responds, “The thong is ended, but the malady lingers on.”
(I will explain the punchline if requested.)
