    but no one knows how it is made up. It is a secret. A cure for the calaic is to get a bit of black silk and tie it around your wrist. A cure for a cold is to boil butter-milk and butter and sugar and drink it. A cure for any part where hair has fallen off is to get leather and roast it until it comes into dust and mix it with butter and put it on the part the hair has fallen off and it will grow.
