- Loacal CuresByMary TobinIf a child never saw his father, that child would have the cure of the sore mouth. Asses milk for consumpton If a man and woman got married with the same name, and that woman to give you bread, you would have the cure of the sore mouth. If you had a wart on your hand and rub a snail to it, and hang that on a thorn, and by the time that snail is withering the wart is withering. Ferrets milk for the chin-cough. If you had a stye on your eye, get nine thorns of a goose-berry bush, and point them to it nine times and it will cure it. For a sting of a nettle get a dockle and wet it and put it on the sting and it will cure it.
