    Sprain
    If a person fell and sprained his leg or his arm, and if he got a sprain thread from a weaver and tie it on the part of the leg or the arm that was sprained and they would be cured.
    Another cure for a sprain was to take the skin of an eel and tie it around the part of the leg or the arm that was sprained, and it would cure it.
    Chin cough
    If a person had the chin cough he would get ferretts leavings, and drink it.
    Warts
    If a person had warts on their hands they would get a bottle of costick or of castor oil and rub it on the warts, and it would pull them out from the roots.
