“They say that if you make a garter of eel-skin and wear it that it will banish cramp from the leg.”
They say that if you make a garter of eel-skin and wear it that it will banish cramp from the leg. I do not know how the garter should be prepared or if there was any particular treatment for it, but I often heard my mother say that anyone who had cramps, and wore the garter of eel skin, would be cured of it. Of course you know that the best razor-strap you ever had is one made from eel-skin.(Denis Lyons, 40 Croom)
