  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    Toothache: Go to a graveyard and get a skull with teeth, and put it back again and you will be cured.
    Sore throat: Bruise a hot potato, and put it in a stocking and put it to your neck.
    Warts: Pull a dandelion, and bruise the white milk on the wart, and it will cure the wart.
