A fox's tongue, not too stale, will extract a needle or a thorn from any outward part of your body. My grandmother said that a Miss Annie McCarthy a sister of the assistant teacher under Felix, in the old school had a needle in her finger about 3 months. Somebody told her about the fox's tongue. She wrapped it around her finger, and it brought out the needle. If you had the courage to lick an eascú luachair you would have a cure for a burn. If the ferret leaves milk after him it is a cure for whooping cough.
