  1. Local Cures for Animals and Fowls

    Share Share Post
    Laurel Leaf - cure for fits in dogs.
    Blue stone - for disorder in turkey hens.
    Garlic and Autfertity for blackleg in calves.
    Staggers in pigs - cut off the tail.
    Put line frogs down the throat of an animal suffering from muzzain.
    To cure a cow that has been overlooked burn 26 letters of the alphabet (Irish) under his nose. Burn a piece of cloth under his nose, prevents a cow being "blinked".
    The cloth must be got from the clothing of the person who is supposed to have blinked the animal.
