Eighth Day - Novel VI
Bruno and Buffalmacco steal a pig from Calandrino, and induce him to deduce
its recovery by means of pills of ginger and vernaccia wine. Of the said pills
they give him two, one after the other, made of dog-ginger compounded with
aloes; and it then appearing as if he had had the pig himself, they constrain
him to buy them off, if he would not have them tell his wife.
