    A cure for Felon
    Get wild celery and brownsword. Boil it in potter and drink it.
    A cure for Sty on the Eye
    A cure for a sty on the eye is to get ten gooseberry prickles and get some person whose parents are alive to point each gooseberry trickle at the sty and say “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost Amen”. When this is done once a day for three days the sty is cured.
    Another cure for ring-worm and wild-fire
    The cure for ring worm and wild-fire is blessed cream. Not many can cure this because there are certain prayers to be said over the cream. Ther person with the disease must have the belief or he cannot be cured.
