  1. Local Cures

    To cure rheumatism cut a potato, place it near the part of the body that has rheumatism. After a while the potato draws out the water from the body. The potato gets as hard as a stone and the rheumatism begins to disappear.
    If a Posthumous child breathes into the mouth of one who has a sore mouth, the sore will be cured. A Posthumous child can cure Thrush.
