    A cure for warts. Boil a sun spurge flower and rub the juice of it to the warts.
    A cure for a cut. Put a spotted Persicaria leaf on the cut. Long ago St Patrick got a cut on his hand and he put this leaf on it.
    A cure for sore eyes. Put cold tea on them every morning for three mornings.
    A cure for the toothache. Put ground ginger in the tooth every night.
