XLIX. For a Horse or Cow that maketh Red∣water.
TAke three or four Onions, one pound of lean Beef roasted on the Coals till you may beat it to powder, Bolearmoniack as much as the bigness of an Egg, one handful of gray Salt, chop and beat them altogether, and put them all into a quart of Strong-beer, take Ale if you can get it, and give it to the Beast, and presently after it, give her a dishful of Cheese-runnets of almost a pint; do but this once or twice fasting; and let the Beast fast two or three hours after it, and it will cure. Proved.
