    Folklore.
    The cures that the people had for diseases in this district were The Hooping cough if you met a man with a white horse and ask him for a cure whatever he would tell you it would be a sure cure.The cure for a toothache is if you put a frog into a persons mouth and leave it there for a while the toothache would disappear.
