    Christ came to him alone
    What ails thee Peter and makes thee shake?
    O! my Lord and Savour, I have the toothache
    Whoever says this prayer three times for my sake
    Shall never again have the toothache.
    For toothache also, put ginger into the tooth.
    Bleeding from the nose:
    Lie back and place a stone at the back of the neck.
    For a Bealding (?) or (Stone Bruise)
    Cut up a black snail and put it to it.
    Warts-
    Go to a field where there are big stones. If you find water in a hole in them dip your fingers into it and the warts will fall off
    or
    If you get a black snail without looking for it and rub it to them they will disappear.
