  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    The dockleaf is a cure for the sting of a nettle. If a stranger writes his name around the ringworm it is a cure for it. If you put the key of the door under your back when you are bleeding from the nose it will stop the blood. If you meet a man with a white horse ask him if he has any of cure for the chincough and what ever he tell you do it and it will cure you. Take a pint of milk to a ferret three nights in succession and what he leaves after him give it to a child and it will cure the chincough.
