    Share Share Post
    A calf six months old with a purging boil ould man and strain the juice out of it and put it down the calfs neck and it will cure him.
    If a cow has weak kidneys boil the rose of the river and strain the juice out of it and put it down her neck and it will cure it her.
    If a cow is sucking herself bring her to a fair and sell her and when you get the money give it back to the buyer under her belly and let him give it back over her back and she will be cured.
    A cow with a blood murrain or a dry murrain give her six ounces of aloways and a pound of treacle and she will be cured.
