從櫻桃樹上折下三根小樹枝：一根在早晨，一根在傍晚，還有一根在午夜時分。從你的襯衫後部剪下三小塊布料，並將每根樹枝包裹在其中一塊布料中；然後使用這些樹枝清潔馬匹的頭部潰瘍，並將它們放置在屋簷下。曾經接觸過傷口的樹枝末端必須朝向北方；之後你需要在這些樹枝上完成你的事情，也就是說，你需要弄髒它們；然後用布料將其覆蓋，保持布料包裹在樹枝周圍。完成所有這些步驟後，需要再次用這三根樹枝刺激傷口，一或兩天後，並將樹枝再次放置如前。

原文:TO CURE THE POLL-EVIL IN HORSES, IN TWO OR THREE APPLICATIONS.

Break off three twigs from a cherry-tree: one towards morning, one towards evening, and one towards mid. night. Cut three small pieces off the hind part of your shirt, and wrap each of those twigs in one of these pieces; then clean the poll-evil with the twigs and leave them under-the eaves. The ends of the twigs which had been in the wound must be turned toward the north; after which you must do your business on them, that is to say, you must dirty them; then cover it, leaving the rags around the twigs. After all this the wound must be again stirred with the three twigs, in one or two days, and the twigs placed as before.
