    The cure for sore eyes is to wash them in cold tea. The cure for a chin-cough is if you meet a man riding a white horse on the road, ask him for a cure for the chin-cough. What ever he says do and it will cure your cough.
    A haulter of an ass put around a person's neck and led around a pigsty three times will cure the mumps. The cure for a pain in the side whilst running is to put one stone on another.
