    Long ago people used to pull nettles and cut them up and after boiling them they used to give the nettle water to any animal that would hve the murren.
    To cure itch in animals they used to put three spoon fulls of sulphur into a bottle of train-oil. Then they used to shake the bottle well and after washing the itchy skin with hot water they rubbed on the mixture of sulphur and train-oil with a soft cloth.
