    Diseases and their Cures.
    The cure they had for tooth-ache was, to put soot into it. Warts to get water out of a pool in a rock and rub it to them. Whooping Cough, to put the person who would have it to put him under the stomach of an ass. A blood poisoned leg, to put a certain herb up to it. Ringworm, to put a ring round it. The cure they had for warts was to get a snail and put a blackthorn out through and rub him to the horse if he had warts.
