    Measles
    Boil the roots of a nettles with milk and drink it.
    Toothache
    Go to St Patrick's Well on Patrick's Day. There is beside the well a stone which you would rub to the sore tooth.
    Warts
    Get a black snail when you are not looking for it. Hang it up on a tree and when it is withering away the wart would wither away also.
    Sore lip
    The cure for a sore lip is, when you get up in the morning before you eat your breakfast. Put a spit on the threshold, and rub it on the lip. Then keep putting it on for nine mornings after other.
