- (continued from previous page)would cover then chillblains. Place those leaves in front of the fire until they get warm. Then place them on the chillblains. This done a couple of times will cure the chillblains.
- I heard this cure from my mother for chillblains: a roasted onion on the fire. This rubbed to the chillblains every night will very quickly cure them.
- I heard of a great cure for a toothache. If there was a hole in the tooth get a small bit of mustard and put it in the hole in the tooth and it would cure it after a couple of minutes.
- I heard of a cure for a toothache at home. The cure is this: by getting a young frog and rubbing this little animal to your painful tooth and in the space of three days your trouble is all gone. My uncle told me this story a short time ago.
