Do!^ and Serpent Bite. 



For the bite of a mad dog or serpent, or sting of a 

 serpent, take the yoik of an egg, and the same quan- 

 tity of honey mixed together, grated over with dra- 

 goon root, mix it up together with flour sufficient for 

 a poultice — apply it two or three times to the bite or 

 stiijged place. 



For the bite of a serpent, take blue flag root and 

 pound it well, and wet it with chamber lie, and apply 

 a poultice three times, or as olten as it dries. 



Bite on Creatures. 



For mad dog bite on creatures, take scull cap and 

 lobelia, make them into a tea, and give it sufficiently 

 to the creature. 



Fever or Cold. 



For a fever, or a sudden cold, take one gill of wild 

 valerian roots, put them into half a pint of cold water, 

 simmer it en the fire and not let it boil, then apply it 

 to the patient, one gill at a time, if a strong natured 

 person more, and give it once an hour for three hours, 

 and it will break a fever commonly. 



For a Mare that has nots, er curdles^n her bag; or for a Coto in the 



same condition. 



Take blacksmith's cinder from his forge, no matter if it has laid 

 out for a number of years ; pound it up fine and boil it in water one 

 hour. Bathe ihe bag with this water as hot as you can put it on with 

 your hand for ten or fifteen minutes, iwice a day. This is supe- 

 rior to other things used. It is good for a wound in a Cow's bag, 

 bathed in the same manner : and it is also good for the garget in 

 the cow's bag. — This will cure in four of five days ; if not, garget 

 the cow with a piece of dry garget root in the following manner : 

 Thrust up your penknife between the thick skin of the lowest part 

 of the dui p, ^n inch and a half for a middling creature ; then pre- 

 pare a piece ^jf garget an inch & a half long, tie a string to the low- 

 ei" end of it, sharp the upper end, and thrust it in the place yoa 

 hrive made, half an inch above the lower part of the hole, and let 

 the string hang out. Green garget will have no effect. ' 



Ft a Fever Sore, or any old ScrofulQUs Sore. 

 Take the water out of a Blacksmith's trough,where he quenches 

 his iron, and warm the water by qoenching hot iron in it as 

 warm as you can bear it, and bathe your sores with it for two 

 months. This generally cures in this time, aad sometimes mucli 

 sooner. 12
