  1. The first cure that I know of is the cure of a sore troath, the way it is cured is there is a snale put into a stocken and then it is warmed to the fire and then tied round the persons neck that has the sore troath. The next cure that I know is the cure of a sprain is my grandmother who cures it with a charm. She was the seventh daughter in the house. The next I know of, that has a charm is my Father his name is Frank Toher. He has the cure of a sprain and of ringworm and the cure of the Camp Itch.
