    Dirty Mouth:
    A boy or girl whose father was dead when they were born, is said to have the cure for the dirty mouth, the child who is suffering from the disease is brought to their house or visit the child for three days and whatever they do for it is sait to cure it.
    Cures for a cut:
    1st cure: Mix lime cobwebs together and apply the mixture to the wound and lie on a bandage. This will the blood and cure the wound.
    2nd cure: If a man got a bad wound and puts the dust of a pipe to the cut the dust will cure it.
    3rd cure: Shake dry clay on the wound.
    These cure would not do nowadays as there would be great danger of blood-poisoning the wound
