- If you lick a frog and put it on a swollen jaw it will cure a tooth-ache.
A cure for a wart is put the juice of a dandelion on it or tie a piece of straw around it. If you sprain your finger boil a marsh-mallow and bathe your finger with the juice.- Collector

- It is said that if a person has a toothache and if he licks a frog the toothache will be cured.
A cure for warts is to rub the milky juice of the Dandelion on the warts.
Another cure for warts is rub a slug on the warts and stick the slug or barbed wire. When the slug withers the warts will be cured.- Collector
