    “A cure for the creasecollar was to look out for a man riding a white horse and say "man of the white horse what would cure the creasecollar”

    A cure for the creasecollar was to look out for a man riding a white horse and say "man of the white horse what would cure the creasecollar" and what ever he would say was the cure.
    Another cure for the creasecollar was to get a gander and put his beak into the child's mouth and hold it there until he would breathe.
