  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    To kiss a frog is the cure for the toothache. The milk that a ferret has left behind is the cure for the whooping cough. To crawl under a donkey’s legs is the cure of the measles. To lead a donkey to the river is the cure of the evil. The breath of anyone that never saw his father has the cure of a sore mouth.
