- The Thrush is a disease of the throat and mouth. The tongue becomes covered with white blisters and it is generally infants that are afflicted with it. People whose father's die before they are born have the cure of the Thrush. The only one about that I know of who has this cure is Joseph Fox, Bramhall, Agher, Enfield. He breathes on the child's tongue once a day for nine days and says some prayers. He can never tell anyone the prayer he says.
