    Their is a cure in a leaf called bugless for a stonebruse to boil it in oatmeal and put it to the sore. A leaf of tobbacco and turpentine is good for toothace. A snail is good for warts to rub it of them and stick it in the thatch until it wither. Comfry is good for sprains and cuts. Buacaille Tighe is used for sore eyes to break it and mix it with cream. Ashes is good for a rash to rub it of your face in the morning before you eat anything. Castor oil and wool good for a pain in your ear.
