- If a child has the chincough this is one for it. Go before a man with a grey horse and ask him what cure and whatever that man says one should give it to the child. Another cure for the chincough is to give donkey's milk to the child. If a cow has a cough the cure is turpentine and linseed oil. The cure they used to have for a horse's cough is cold and treacle.
If one has a stone bruise the cure is to put a snail to it. If a sheep has fluke the cure is to dose her with male fern and pills.
