    Leaf of the plant water-lily (drowning leaf) sure cure for whitelow.
    Red Murrain
    yarrow + bloodwort (called in some places Stone Crowfoot) full of two hands in equal parts. broken up fine and given to beast with red murrain will cure her.
    Hold up her head and put it down so that she will swallow. drive to pool and allow her to drink as much water as she wishes. Remove every craziness of hay or straw or litter and bed with turf mould. Continue treatment until water is clean.
    Every vein of the cabbage leaf has a cure if only known.
