    Chin-cough
    A man and wife of the same surname before marriage are supposed to have a cure for the Chin-cough. Asse's and sheep's milk are supposed to have a cure for the chin-cough. If your god-father and god-mother were having a meal and when they had finished you took a piece of some thing they were eating, you were supposed to have a cure for the chin-cough.
    Thorn
    If a thorn gets into the flesh and it cannot be removed some people are able to cure it, they get a certain herb and put it in on the injured part and the thorn is drawn out.
    Tooth-ache
    A tooth-ache will be cured by rolling a frog up in a hand
