growths are understood by man, and
some are not. Animals, it - would
sepm, know what to do when they are
sick better than men and women.
Observers have noted that a sick
horse, dos or cat will stop eating
food and seek out some vegetable
growth in-the field or yard, which
when found and eaten, often restores
