  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    It is said that if a dog licks a cut or some poisoned thing it is sure to get better. They say there is a cure in the dogs tongue.
    If a person had a toothache there is a good cure for it: get the flesh of a frog and rub it on the inside of your gums. It is said that this will cure it.
