  2. Cures

    Stewed Ivy leaves: The water which comes out of stewed ivy leaves mixed with whiskey and sugar is supposed to cure a cough.
    "Warts": A person that has warts is to put as many stones in a bag as he has warts. Then he should leave the bag at a cross-road and whoever finds the bag will have the "warts". Another cure for "warts" is to knot a straw and put it on the "warts". The straw is then to be buried and when the straw is buried the "warts" are supposed to disappear.
    "Ragwort" is an herb which is supposed to cure jaundice.
    "March Malice" is another cure for jaundice. There is also ointment made out of it for sprains.
