- Washing soda is supposed to be a cure for wars. If you wash your face with the dew that is on the grass on a May morning you wont be sick that year. The teeth of a corpse if rubbed along your own teeth you will never have toothaches. The stone of a priest's grave is a cure for teethaches also. People tickle the palm of their hands to stop a hic-cough. When people have pains in their stomachs they lie on their mouths under. If you get a thorn under a white thorn brush and your hand swells up you should look for a dor daol and put it in the fire. When he bursts the swelling will burst.
