- A cure for a scab on your lip.
When you get up in the morning make the sign of the cross on the scab with a fasting spit for three mornings and the scab will get better. A cure for a sore finger.
Get a slice of a stewed turnip and put it to the sore part of the finger. This will take the soreness out of it. A cure for pock on cows teats.
Get soot out of the chimney and mix it with a piece of lard. Put this to the diseased teats twice a day until the pock disappears. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
