When I had a sty on my eye, I got ten gooseberry thorns and threw one away, I then pointed the nine to my eye and it cured my sty.

When you have whooping cough if you go to a married person who has the same name as when she was single and ask her for a piece of bread or a grain of meal it will cure you. Another cure for the whooping cough is to boil milk and give it to a ferret to drink. What ever he leaves, drink, and will will cure you. To take out a thorn put bacon on the place where the thorn is. Bandage it and go to bed. In the morning the thorn will be in the bacon. If you have a cut finger put a cobweb on it.
