    (7) Cures for boils
    Long ago the cure for boils was to turn a bottle of hot water on the affected spot and it will take it away immediately.
    (8)Cure for a toothache.
    Long ago people said the following was a certain cure for toothache, if a person who was suffering from toothache went to a graveyard, while a fresh grave was being made and there got a skull in which there were teeth, from the freshly opened grave and drew one of the teeth out of it with his own, he or she would never suffer from toothache again.
