    family has a cure for the ring worm by rubbing his hand over it.
    The cure for warts was the water that would be found on a rock accidentially. It would be rubbed on the warts three times.
    If a person had a toothache pepper would be put into brown paper and put into the jaw beside the tooth and this is supposed to take away the pain. Another cure for toothache is to put a frog on the tooth.
