- Cures
January 1938.
A cure for a sty on your eye is to point a thorn of a gooseberry bush at it three times saying "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost Amen". Another cure for a sty is to make the sign of the Cross with a blessed gold ring on the sty.
A cure for a whooping cough is to tie a red ribbon around the child's neck. A cure to stop a person's hair from falling out is to rub an onion into it. A cure for a sore throat is to put roasted salt to it.
