    I a horse had worms the tops of furzes mixed through oats would cure him
    If a calf had a scour very strong tea is good for it
    The nibéalrí is a cure for red water in cattle
    To cure a heart burn bread soda and butter milk
    Cold tea is a cure for sore eyes
    A spit of ivy is a cure for a sheep with sore eyes
    An old cure for the mumps leirneac is géarlac
    For a burn to catch the Alplucar and catch it by the head and tail and rub your tongue of its belly
