  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    When a child had whooping cough it was put under a female donkey's body three times and the sign of the cross was made.
    Dandelions were picked and boiled and made into a drink for consumption.
    If any person had a sore chest it would be rubbed with goose-grease left from teh Christmas goose.
