- (continued from previous page)Measles:- Boil the leaves and roots of nettles in milk and give to drink to the person who has the measles.
Warts:- If one could find water resting on a rock one should wash the wart nine times with this water and say each time "rock-water, rock-water it isnt you I want but your cure for my wart."
Toothache:- Write "toothache go away" on three slips of paper and stick the three slips in three mearing walls until some rats take them away and then the pain will go.
Headache:- Go to a well from which there is water runing and look at yourself in that water and the headache will go.
