It might sound like a really old wives' tale, but a thousand-year-old Anglo-Saxon potion for eye infections may hold the key to wiping out the modern-day superbug MRSA
The 10th-century "eyesalve" remedy was discovered at the British Library in a leather-bound volume of Bald's Leechbook, widely considered to be one of the earliest known medical textbooks
The recipe calls for two species of Allium (garlic and onion or leek), wine and oxgall (bile from a cow's stomach) to be brewed in a brass vessel
The book included an instruction for the recipe to be left to stand for nine days before being strained through a cloth
mabye throw onion wine and maw in a pot (liquid is wine, and maw and onions in inventory) boil for awhile take a cloth and make the eyesalve
