- (continued from previous page)Local curses (contd.)
If a person had a toothache and a friend should succeed in placing a horses tooth in his pocket without him knowing it, the toothache would be cured immediately. To cure a sprain bathe the limb in potato water while it is still hot.
To banish a wart rub it with a bit of stolen meat.- Informant
