If a person had a sore face they should rub vinegar to it and it would cure it. If a persons nose was bleeding they should put the key of the door down their neck, and lie in their back and in a few minutes the bleeding would stop.
If a person had a sty in his eye, he should look through a gold ring and it would get cured.
- They say that the seventh son born in succession has a cure for a sore mouth. The food left behind after a ferrit is a cure for the whooping cough. A child who is born after their father's death has a cure for a sore mouth by blowing his breath into the persons mouth.
