- People say if a person who suffers from toothache puts a frog in her mouth the pain will not come back.
If anybody who has the whooping cough creeps between a donkey's legs that is supposed to cure it.
Another cure for the Mumps is for the person to put an ass's winkers on them, and to be led in, and out three times to the pigsty using the words, "Leckna, leckna, tugada, mugada".
The seventh daughter, or son is supposed to have the cure of the evil, and also can reveal the furture.
A child who has never seen its father, has the cure of the dirty mouth.- Collector
