  2. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people used to have cures for certain ailments. It is said that if a person licked the tail of a lizard he would have the cure for a burn on his tongue.
    There is a cure for a tooth-ache; if a person rubbed his tongue to the jawbone of a porcupine he would have the cure on his tongue.
