    warts will wither off the hand.
    There is a cure in a dog's tongue for a sore on the foot or the hand.
    If a cat scraped a child's hand or foot a few hairs are pulled of the cats back and left on the sore hand until the blood is all soaked and in a short time the sore is cured.
    There is another cure in goat's milk for the chin-cough.
    It is said that if a man with a pure white horse was met on the road and if he was asked for a cure for the chin-cough and no matter what cure he would give the chin-cough would be cured.
