Summary

The evil eye and silver water.

A gamekeeper had a good cow. He used to give milk to an old woman, but stopped. The cow became sick and stopped giving milk. The contributor's wife made 'uisge thar airgid' [silver water] and gave it to the cow. It recovered after a few days and began to give milk again soon after.
