- There is a disease among cattle called the "Tail Slip". When a cow takes this disease she cannot rise. She would die if she was not cured. Some people can cure this disease. There is a man in the Drung district who can cure this. He comes to your house and splits the cows tail and puts garlic and butter in it. He does this twice and the cow mends. The man,s name is Mr Allen.
