- (continued from previous page)juice is put in a bowl, and the woman of the house gets a piece of white cloth and dips it in the bowl, and then puts the cloth on the sprain and keeps on doing so for sometime until it is cured.
- An old cure for cuts is a spiders web like the ones found in the rafters of old houses, dipped in whiskey and wrapped around the cut and tied with a bandage. This is said by the old people to stop a cut from bleeding and to heal it.
