  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Tweet
    In olden days it was supposed that certain people had the cure of many diseases.
    There is a boy in Snugboro who has the cure of a sore mouth. The cure was given to him, because he was born after his father died. He is about eighteen years of age and he has cured many cases of this disease.
    The cure of the sprain is common by certain people. It is cured here by a man in the town. On getting a sprain we usually go to him instead of getting a doctor.
