- What a foxes tongue would cure.
I know you would like to hear what a foxes tongue would cure.The tongue of a fox is a good cure to take out a thorn.I would put it down it milk an boil it.then I would take it up when it would be boiled and I would put it to the thorn and bandage it up when I would be going to bed.in the morning the thorn would be out on the tongue.
