  1. Local Cures

    The cure for warts is to get a piece of bacon and rub it to the warts and then bury it in the ground; when the piece of bacon has decayed the warts will be gone.
    The cure for the chin-cough is the first man you meet with a white horse will tell you something to give it and it will cure it.
