    If you put a front into your mouth you would never get a toothache.
    If you met a man driving a white pony or horse and asked him for a cure for the chin cough and whatever he'd say, give it to the patient and it would cure it.
    If you took a piece of meat and hit it under a dung hill and if you had warts it would cure them or if you met water on a stone and didn't know it was there and rubbed it to your warts it would cure them.
    Before your breakfast if you made the sign of the cross with your finger dipped in a spit on your forehead it would cure a sty.
