Reading a book about the history of Lavaca County in Texas and came across this. Had never heard of a madstone before. "Hiram G Foley was known far and wide because he had a wonderful madstone that he was reported to have found while hunting. He saw a deer bury something and upon unearthing it found it to be a mad stone that was later applied to hundreds of snake and dog bites." The History of Lavaca County, Paul C Boethel, The Naylor Co, 1936, pg 11
