  1. The old people say that roasted flour is a cure for Erysipelas.
    Other people say that if you had a pain in your stomach and if you put something hot to it, it would get all right.
    More say that if you took a hot drink it would get all right for a while.
    If you had pains in your legs or in your arms goose-grease is a good thing to rub on them at night, when you are going to bed. When you get up the next morning you will be all right.
