    Wild garlic is used for a cough or a cold. It is cut up small and then boiled in milk and given to the person to drink.
    A fox's tongue would take a thorn out of your leg -
    It should be put up to the leg for a while and it would come out.
    The first man you see riding a grey horse if you know him do not call him by his name but say man riding a grey horse what will cure the whooping cough and the cure he will say will cure it.
