Pow-Wows, or Long Lost Friend, by John George Hoffman, [1820], at sacred-texts.com


A GOOD REMEDY FOR THE POLL-EVIL IN HORSES.

Take white turpentine, rub it over the poll-evil with your band, and then melt it with a hot iron, so that it runs into the wound. After this take neatsfoot oil or goose grease and rub it into the wound in the same manner, and for three days in succession, commencing on the last Friday of the last quarter of the moon.
