  1. Local Cures

    If you got a toothache you should get a frog and put it into your mouth and it will take away the pain. It is said that if you got a cut you should put fresh manure or a cobweb and put it to the cut. If you got a sting from a wasp or a nettle you should get a dock-leaf and put it to the sting and it will take it away. The food left after a ferret is good for a bad stomach.
