“Long ago people used to seek cures for ailments in many ways.”
(continued from previous page)the village cut the tree and the well came in another. The seventh son is supposed to be a doctor. A child born after its father's death was supposed to be able to cure a sore mouth. It was cured by blowing the breath three times into it. Whit Monday is an unlucky day for a child to be born because it is said he would get killed or kill someone. A foal born on Whit Monday is supposed to kill someone. If you nibbed your finger on a dead persons teeth you would never get toothache.(no title)
