   A cure for warts is to rub the dirt of your boots on them when the new moon comes and bless yourself at the same time. If you have a severe cut a leaf called St. Patricks leaf slightly heated at a fire and gently pressed on the cut will cure it.
   A frog held in the mouth will cure tooth ache. The smoke of a burning sugar bag is also good. A mouthful of soot is another cure for toothache.
   If you had the whooping cough and be passed through the hind legs of an ass it will cure you.
   If you eat nine feeds of boiled nettles between the first day of March and the last day of April you will never suffer from indigestion.
   A piece of a puck mushroom will immediately stop bleeding.
