   The blood of a whole black cat cures ringworm. When a person suffers from a toothache before going to bed, tie a cord around his tooth and out of his big toe. When morning comes he will forget all about the cord and he will jump out of bed and pull out the tooth with the cord. To get a stocking and put onions and slat into it and put it around their neck this cures a sore throat
