    promise the made the would have to keep that promise to the toothache would be better.
    And anyone who could swallow a frog was the cure of consumption. And for a sore throat the used to stake a spoonfull of dry sulphur. For Diarrhioea the used to take Mustard and water. The cure for sore eyes was to wash them in cold tea with a piece of cotton. And for warts the used to rub seven sister on them. The cure for a sting of a nettle was a rub a dockan leaf on it and while rubbing it say "dockan dockan" in and out take the sting of a nettle out. I heard them of my mother.
