  1. Old Cures - Toothache, Corns

    Share Share Post
    Tooth-ache.
    Get a live frog and rub it across the side of your face where the tooth-ache is.
    This will cure the pain.
    Corns
    Cut out a fox’s tongue. Dry it and hand it up. When quite dry rub it to the corn. It will take it clean out.
