  1. (continued from previous page)
    When one has a sore throat a stocking of hot salt is got when going to bed, and tied around the neck. When one would get up in the morning the sore throat would be gone. (Tom Fitzgerald.)
    Put salt into an oven and warm it over the fire, then put the warm salt into a woollen stocking and tie it around your neck. (John Mulcahy.)
    Get a cup of hot water, put a spoon of salt into it, stir it and wait until it is cool, wash your mouth with it then, and the soreness will go away after a few days. (Willie Hayes)
