    Several people around this district has the cure of teeth-aches.
    There are three special days to go to any of them, either on Monday's, Wednesdays, Fridays of the week.
    Either of these days, they would cure them for a long time.
    The very simple cure for tooth-ache is to poultice the jaw with oaten-meal.
    Holy wells are also visited for certain cures.
