- (continued from previous page)somebody to put a donkey halter round his neck and lead him three times to a running stream and every time he comes to the stream he takes three sups of water, and that cures. When the top of the briar touches ground it takes root and its roots turn white, the white roots are pounded with the young suckers of the white thorn, they are then boiled in a small bag together with fresh unsalted butter until they are pure and green, it is then taken out and the grease squeezed out of it. It is then put in a box to set, and is then used as an ointment for healing cuts.
