- Trush in babies
A baby born after its fathers death will cure trush in other babies by breathing into the babies mouth for three mornings. Also by catching a goose and putting its beak into the patients mouth it will cure trush.
Corns..
A corn can be removed by soaking an ivy leaf in vinegar and then put the leaf on it and put a fresh leaf on the corn every day until it is healed.
