    Extracts.
    Taken from the 5th Std Exercises.
    They used a frog to cure toothache. They cured the whooping-cough with asse's milk to drink, or ferret's leavings. They used the juice of a capóg to cure the sting of a nettle. The seventh son or daughter would have the power to cure the "ringworm". They used to cure "Brown-cites" with the saim(?) of a goose or seim of a gander. To cure "jandice" they used peppermint. Water-cress cures a weak heart. Soda and butter milk cures a heart burn. If you put some ink on a "wild fire scab" it would cure it after some time.
