Description

Esoteric instructions for the uses of animal products. To protect yourself from frights and madness and devils: hang a chicken's gizzard stone on your person. If a man applies the fat of a black hen to his penis and sleeps with a woman, she will fall in love with him. A cure for migraines: goose bile mixed with violet oil (to be snorted). For urinary stones: goose blood mixed with water and salt (to be drunk). Snakeskin is good both against hemorrhoids and for enhancing your vision.
