    Sore throat:
    The cure for sore throat is to get a bunch of nettles and boil them. When they are boiled, you put pepper on them and eat them.
    Sprains:
    The cure for a sprained wrist is, you get an eel and skin it, then dry the skin and put it on your wrist. After an hour the skin begins to tighten and holds the wrist firm. After a day the wrist will be better.
    Fainting:
    If a person faints three drops of blood should be taken from the persons right arm.
