    Dalladh Mullóg in Sheep.
    Dalladh Mullóg in sheep may be cured in the following way:
    Steep a half-ounce of teased tobacco and about a handful of ivy in a cup of water for twenty four hours. Then apply a few drops of the juice to the sheep's eyes once a day until the sheep has regained her sight.
    About two years ago my father had a sheep that had the Dalladh Mullóg and this treatment cured her.
