  1. Cures

    If you get an eel skin and let it get hard and tie it round your wrist it will make it very firm and very strong to work with.
    There is also a cure for a toothache. Light a piece of paper and put it to your nose and breathe the smoke of it up your nose. It is a great cure for a toothache.
