    Cures
    An infallible cure for a headache
    Get some spearmint - a common herb in the garden - dry it and when the sufferer needs relief put this dried herbs into a vessel - tee-pot -to draw, just like tea, a serving. Strain and add sugar and milk to the liquid and give it to the patient. Some bread may be taken with it too. Has cured bad headaches.
    Jaundice: Get some "droppings" of the sheep's. Boil in milk- strain and then give to the invalid for three days in succession. Found to cure people, thus applied often second dose
