  1. How to Cure Cowpox

    Get a half cup of blue-stone, a half cup of lard, and a half cup of sulphur. Break the blue-stone very small with a hammer and mix the three of them together. Then rub the mixture on the cow-pox with a brush, but be careful and do not let it near your hands, or any part of your body.
