(continued from previous page)he ran away. The fairies overtook him and they were going to kill him but he begged for mercy. They picked him up and threw him across three fields and he landed in a manure heap near his own house. (11 January 1938).Written by:-

“Soak brown paper in vinegar and press it to the forehead.”
Soak brown paper in vinegar and press it to the forehead. This is a cure for a pain in the head. Boil onions and eat them. This is a cure for boils. Press a hot iron to where the pains are to cure the pains or wrap red flannel around where the pains areand leave it on for a while. When taking it off you must take it off in pieces.Written by:-
