    When you eat dandelion it cures rheumatism.
    When you rub a docking leaf to a sting it cures it.
    When you boil butter milk and oatenmeal and drink it cures a cold.
    Eat garlic it cures rheumatism.
    When you have a sty on your eye put a gooseberry-thorn to it and it will cure it.
    When you have a sore-throat heat salt and put it in a stocking and tie it around your neck it will cure it.
