    A cure for rheumatism:
    A cure which is often used and which is believed very effective for rheumatism is to catch snails and tie them in a piece of muslin and a grain of salt sprinkled on them. After a while the snails begin to melt and the fluid should be gathered and rubbed on the affected parts.
