THE BOOK OF ALBERTUS MAGNUS.It says: If you burn a large frog to ashes, and mix the ashes with water,

destroy the hair and prevent it from growing again.
ANOTHER PASSAGE FROM
THE WORK OF ALBERTUS MAGNUS.If you find the stone which a vulture has in his knees, and which you

hate each other, it causes them to make up and be good friends.
