- In older times people went out into the fields and picked the different herbs and used them to cure their ailments.
The cure for boils is to get bog-bean and boil it. When well boiled drink the water.
The cure for toothache is to take salts nine mornings after each other.
The cure for mumps is to get someone to lead you into the pig-stye by a donkeys winkers and say "mumps, mumps go to the swine".- Collector
