    Indigestion
    There are two cures for indigestion first to eat water cress and secondly to boil a dandelion and drink the water of it
    Sprains
    It is sad that pickle is good for sprains.

    If a person finger is bleeding quickly and if he puts a spiders web to it it will be cured. It is also good to let a dog lick it. Anothe cure for cuts is to rub pig's dung to it.
