- In former times the people depended
their lives upon herbs and charms. The
cure for a toothache was to put a
frog into your mouth and let him
jump out himself.
The people of this locality
have no cure for thrush as they have
had no experience of it. The milk
left behind by a ferret is supposed
to cure the Yellow-Jaundice. The people
living in this locality do not
remember anyone visiting holy wells.
The curing of ching-cough
is to crawl through animals legs
three times. If you met a man with a grey
horse it is also supposed to
cure it. A burn is cured by a
leaf of hart's-tongue fern. A nettle
sting is cured by applying a dock
leaf to the affected place.- Collector
