    Cures
    Some people say that Cahill's blood will cure ringworm. Others say that Walsh's blood will cure it.
    To cure warts squeeze the milk out of the weed called "Rabbit's milk" on the wart. A few applications will suffice.
    The water or milk in which "ground ivy" (an herb which grows on ditches and creeps along the ground) is boiled will cure a cough.
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away but an onion a day keeps the whole world away.
