Summary

Verse for curing illness in cows.

To cure mastitis in cows, women made a charm to put round the udder and then repeated a verse. The cow would be cured in three days.

The contributor gives a detailed account of a woman who used the verse on one of his own cows. The cow was cured. He regrets that he did not learn the rhyme from her.
