    The blood of the black cat was to cure cancer and scurvy.
    If a person had a headache and boil a quart of herbs and some new milk and when it is boiled, not to leave it on the floor but on a table or a dresser and take three sips of it.
    If a person got a cut in his hand or any other part of his body, to take a little bit of the sweeping inside the door and put it to it, because anyone who would come to the door would say 'God bless' or some other blessing.
    If a person has warts they would get a snail and put the snail on a thorny tree and as the snail would be withering the warts would be going.
