   A few years ago their used to be a man going around riding a grey horse. Anyone having a chin cough this is the cure. This man used to pull a weed and it said to cure the chin cough. It is said also if you get a sore foot after robing a birds nest if you put a red sorrel to it would go away very soon is some cure on it. Long ago anyone having a bownlock this is the remedy for it. To put blue to it. It is going on yet in this district.
