  1. (continued from previous page)
    a grey horse she asked him what cure for the chin cough and whatever he would say was supposed to cure the child.
    To cure a toothache they used to get a frog and put it into their mouths and take it out again after a while, then the toothache was supposed to be cured.
    To cure warts they walked a long by a wall until they came to a drop of water. Then they would make the sign of the cross three times on the wart with the water. After a while it would be cured.
