    There is in our district a cure for Toothache:-
    Take a frog and roll it in a cloth and hold it to the face then squeeze it till it squeals and the toothache is cured.
    There are a lot of cures for warts:-
    (1) The first I know of get someone to rub them with a snail then tie a cord tightly round the snail and tie it to a tree and as the snail rots the warts will rot.
    (2) Another cure to through clay after a funeral and say corps and clay take these warts away and the will go away.
