Entry 1386

Volume 1 · printed page 460 · New Orleans, La.

That's if you can git it. That's hard to be got, because she won't let you take it anyway, to carry it away anywheres to use for eye purpose. Just like you have a sore eye or something gits in your eye, and a Woman's got a baby, you let her milk drap in your eye and if there is a sore or something in your eye, that'll take it out. If you got a sore eye, it'll cure it. [For cow milk, see No. 1196f., p.429,& Index.]
