  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    A cure for the whooping - cough is for the person who has it to walk out under an ass three times. Another cure for it is to eat food got from a married couple who had the same surname before they were married.
    A cure for a wart is to spit on it nine mornings fasting.
