- Cures for a burn
If a person has a burn he can cure it by frying eggs and to get the oil out of them, and rub the oil onto the burn, that would cure it.
There is also another cure, that is to get gamafic leaves and to put them onto the burn and put a cloth over the leaves, and the gamafic leaves would not stick onto the burn.Cures for the whooping cough
This is a cure for the whooping cough to take out the person who has the cough to a man with a white horse and it would get cured.
