    Swollen Feet: If a person has swollen feet it is a good cure to wash their feet with water that would have bog moss boiled in it.
    Red Murrain: The cure for a red Murrain in cattle is bog-water out of a stagnant pool and also a half pound of tea boiled in a pint of water.
    Black-leg: Garlic is also good for cattle who would have the black leg. They are inoculated with it.
