- (continued from previous page)The wather comes from the boy about three buckets.
He then got a brown paper and spread the cow-dung and clay on it an put it on for a plaster. He then put him on a sack of chaff in the corner and got bottle of tar, and half an ounce of the bitter apple half an ounce of rue, and half an ounce of fertel flue, half an ounce of bowl almanac.
He made it into a plaster and added some buck yarrow, then he boiled up all together he then gave it to the boy to breath into.
And told him to lie quite until he came in nine days to see him.
He came and found the boy working in the fields as well as ever he is living to this day.
