Entry 3447
Dat's simple. Dat's a real trick, dat is. Yo' go to work an' ketch a dog dat's nevah has been mated. An' she begin tuh start tuh mate, yo' kin always tell, yol see. Den yo' go to work den an' take dis dog an' spear[?] her an' git de proud bag.
(After you get what?)
After yo' spread[?] de dog an' take out 'er proudin' bag an' den bang dat up an' let it git dry lak a bladdah den, where yo' kin pound it up. [The preceding word spear or spread is probably spade, the obsolete fon of spay, though spade is not quite as obsolete as the lexicographer thinks, I having heard it frequently through the years. No matter what the word, the bitch's ovaries are: extirpated.] Well, now, all a man's gotta do when he make a connection, he jes' put some of dat dust on 'im, yo' see, den dat gives a woman's womb an' [the] nature of a dog, don' yo' see, cuz de dog wus in heat but yet she had nevah mated. An' dat gives de woman - it grasps de dog to her, yo' see. Den when a man has connec- tion wit 'er, de head of his [penis] will swell an' de womb [vagina] will shet [shut] down on 'i. An' den when it shets down on it, dat will cause it tuh swell, an' dat's whut hangs 'em up tuhgethah.

Yo' kin ketch a houn' see when she's in heat - a bitch at least, when she is in heat, an' raise up 'er right hind laig an' cut it. (Cut it?) Yeah, an' git some blood from it, see an' put it in a cup. Put it in some of 'er coffee or tea, anything she drinks. Let 'er drink it an' if a man go to her, she'll get stuck an' can't nobody get 'em loose until yo' come back an' give her anothah drink of dat stuff. [For like cures like. see p.349.1 DE DOCTOR [M.D.[ KIN GIT 'EM LOOSE BY KILLING ONE OF 'EM, BUT CHEW KIN GIT 'EM LOOSE AN' SAVE BOTH OF 'EM.
(WELL! HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?)
JES' GIVE 'EM A DRINK OF DAT - FROM DAT CUP WHAT YO' KET' DE BITCH'S BLOOD WHEN SHE'S IN HEAT. Yo' know a bitch runnin' roun', an' yo' raise her right hind laig an' slit it.

Dry up a snail and mix this dust with fluid from bitch in heat - put on woman, man will stick to her [Norfolk, 516:7]. [Beliefs about The Hag and Witch in Hag Form will be found in the section so named, numbers 429-544, pages 135-164, volume 1. Similar beliefs are scattered through the complete or partial interviews, volume 2, etc. Theoretically a hag disturbs a sleeping person, rides him or her; an old-fashioned witch does not - yet see No., etc.]
