  1. Hiccough.
    There lives a man in this district named Conn Guiney. He used to get the hiccoughs very often. One day he met a man who told him to swing off the rafters for a half an hour. He did as he was told and it cured him.

  2. Pansies.
    Pansies are to be seen in some flower gardens. They are a bluish sort of flower and some of them are yellow.
    Old people say that pansies are a cure for heart trouble. You get the pansies and boil them in a pot of water. You let them draw in the water like tea. When drawn it can be taken.
