- (continued from previous page)When a child had a sore mouth, the parents would get a goose and let her blow three times into his mouth. Then his mouth would get better.Long ago a sore head was cured in this way; They got a leave of cabbage and a pice of hot fat meat. Then they let the meat drop down on the cabbage. Then they shook a grain of meal on this. Then they applied the leave of cabbage to the head. Then the head used to get cured.
