This is an old cure for the mumps.Roast chicken-weed on the fire. Put it up to the swelling and leave it on it for twenty hours. That is the foremost cure for a swelling.If you get a sting of a wasp split an onion and hold it to the sting. That is the foremost cure for a wasp sting.If a person gets a sting of a nettle rub a docken leaf to it and it will cure it at once.If you lick an "Airc Sléibhe" that you get in the turf bods you have the cure of a burn.If a person has a sore lip put the skin that of a docken root to it and it will cure it.
