    Local Cures.
    One pint of ass's milk is a cure for whooping cough. Your fasting spittle for nine mornings cures warts.
    Tie a stocking round your neck and it will cure a sore throat.
    Salt and water will cure sore eyes.
    Juice of ash is good for a pain in the ear. This is got from a log as it is burning.
