   If you have a wart go out on a dewy morning and put the milk of the dandelion on it for nine mornings and the wart will gradually disappear. If you get a burn from the fire and put blue on it it will get better. If you are suffering from chilblains and rub a raw onion on them or another cure for them is iodine. For a headache rub vinegar on a piece of brown paper and hold it to your forhead and it will get better or another good cure is the key of a door to hold it to your forhead and it will get better. If you are bleeding from the nose put a penny to the back of your head for a few moments and it will get better. For a tooth ache put a frog into your mouth for a few minutes and it will cure it. If you get a cut on your finger put rib grass on the bleeding wound and it will stop the blood immediately. If you are suffering Rheumtism carry a potato in your pocket it will get better.

   Headed like a thimble tailed like a rat you may guess for ever but you will never guess that? A pipe.
   What is it that wags it's tail and runs and yet stands still? A pomp.
   Why is "A" lazy.? Because it is never in time.
   What is most like a horse shoe? A mare's shoe.
