- Butter Cure
Butter is obtained from a woman who is married to a husband of the same surname. The butter is placed on the wound and in nine days a cure should be evident. - Herbs
The secret of a herb cure is held by certain people but like all herb cures in this locality the secret is guarded religiously. - Foul mouth
This complaint of children is cured by the seventh son or by the breathing into the affected mouth by any child born posthumously.
