    Toothache -
    Fill your moth with cold water.
    Warts:-
    If you found a snail and rubbed it to the warts and then put him up on a hedge and stuck a thorn through his body, in nine days the snail would be withered and also the warts.
    A sty on the eye:-
    Prick the sty with a gooseberry thorn.
    Burn:-
    Rub lard on the part affected and sit with it near the fire.
