- (continued from previous page)Cure for Toothache.
Kill a black-beetle by sticking a black-thorn through its two eyes and put it into a bottle. Bury it under the clay where nobody will find it. If you do this your toothache will be cured.
Cure for Warts
You should kill a worm and rub it of your warts. Then hang it up on a blackthorn bush. As the worm is decaying away the warts go away.
