Toothache
Any person who has a toothache puts a frog into his mouth three times.
A child born after its father's death has the cure of the sore mouth. When a seventh son is born if two worms are put one in each of his hands, he will have the cure of the running-worm. Jack Canty Moyrath Kildalkey is a seventh son but he has not the cure as the worms were not put into his hands when he was born.

Whooping Cough - Peter Rafferty, Killyon, Hill of Down.
