and the knowledge of names that cannot warn
(on this page is discussed various remedies, and their effectiveness. Including being bitten by a mad dog - a sign of the dog's madness is that it barks silently; how to cure a particular illness that causes blindness; and finally a strange tale of R. Meir travelling, who knew how to decipher from names if a person is trustworthy. but does not share his suspicions with his fellow travellers, who end up being robbed by an inn-keeper. who in turn eventually kills his wife when she returned the money)
