    “Many old cures are found to be very useful and this is one.”

    Many old cures are found to be very usefull and this is one. If a person’s nose is bleeding and you want to stop the flow put a bunch of keys down his back and it will stop it. If you get a sting of a nettle on any part of your body get a dog leaf and put it over the sting and it will relieve the pain.

    “When any old person is dead and is laid out in a bed...”

    When any old person is dead is laid out in a bed or in a coffin. Kiss that person and he or she will never haunt you when you are asleep.
