- The dandeline is a good cure for rheumatism. When five or six dandelines are put between two cloaths and hammered and put on the rheumatism it is said to cure it in three days.
Warts are easily cured. If a person who suffers from warts washes them in a stream that divides two farm three mornings in succession before sun-rise it is said they will be cured.
If a person who has a bad heart drinks a half pint of goat's milk every morning it will cure him. - Transcription guide » You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
