TO CURE THE BITE OF A SNAKE.
God has created all things and they were good;
Thou only, serpent, art damned,
Cursed be thou and thy sting.
Zing, zing, zing!SECURITY AGAINST MAD DOGS.
Dog, hold thy nose to the ground,
God has made me and thee, hound! + + +This you must repeat in the direction of the dog; and the three crosses
you must make toward the dog, and the words must be spoken before he
sees you.
TO REMOVE PAIN AND HEAL
UP WOUNDS WITH THREE SWITCHES.With this switch and Christ’s dear blood,
I banish your pain and do you good! + + +Mind it well: you must in one cut, sever from a tree, a young branch
pointing toward sunrise, and then make three pieces of it, which you
successively put in the wound. Holding them in your hand, you take the
one toward your right side first. Everything prescribed in this book must be
used three times, even if the three crosses should not be affixed. Words are
always to have an interval of half an hour, and between the second and
third time should pass a whole night, except where it is otherwise directed.
The above three sticks, after the end of each has been put into the wound as
before directed, must be put in a piece of white paper, and placed where
they will be warm and dry.
REMEDY FOR FEVER,
WORMS, AND THE COLIC.Jerusalem, thou Jewish city,
In which Christ our Lord, was born,
Thou shalt turn into water and blood,
Because it is for [name] fever, worms, and colic good.
