    Lucneach, the old people said you would be cured if you would get Chickenweed and put it with your neck. If a person had WringWorm it is that if you melted bluestone and rub the WringWorm it would disappear. When a person had a Whittle on his finger it was said if he chewed oatmeal, and put it into a piece of cloth and put it around his finger it would be cured. If you had a Sty in your eye the would say to rub it with cold tea.
