- Long ago the people used to go out and search for a sort of matter which used to fall from the sky in many places after a night that there were Northern lights seen in the sky. This was said to be a cure for a burn.Long ago the people used to cut up a frog like a patch, and put it on the head of any person who would be getting bald.

- To save a sick person from bedsores - place a bundle of fresh rushes a bowl of cold water every morning under the bed.1 A cure for warts:- if you meet a snail accidently rub it on the warts and then kill it and bury it. When the snail is decayed the warts will have disappeared.
