A woman who has not changed her name at marriage can cure a child of whooping cough by giving it a piece of bread she has baked. Vervain (vervine) boiled cures jaundice A catterpillar (hairy molly) put in a bag and hung round the neck cures whooping cough Water in which house leek is steeped will cure styes as will nine thorns from a gooseberry bush if pointed at it for three successive mornings The rubbing of a neighbours weeding ring will cure wild-fire A sour-apple applied to a rat bite will prevent poisoning The milk in which fox tongue fern has been boiled cures palpitation
