I rather think that this is not a general spell but the exact
counter curse that too can be hidden somewhere in his potions book.
BTW as Lupin says Bill's wounds are cursed ones and that his future
behaviour will be up to the grade of infection. Being a werewolf
therefore is being infected with an incurable curse. Of course it
would have been interesting to see whether this counter curse would
have worked but I doubt it for it was used for deep magical cuts and
not for the infective bites of a werewolf which have a different
nature.
