- It is said that to get water in a lime-stone is a cure for warts Black tea for sore eyes Garlick for asthma Turnips and sugar is a cure for cough A foxe's tongue would take out a thorn Once upon a time there lived in Flagmount a man named Mr. Vaughan. He had one daughter. He always had the girl out minding the cows. One day she fell asleep and after that she began to get thin.
Once she got a pain in her stomach. Her father was a very cruel man and he got a frying pan and placed some meat on it and fried it. Then he got the girl and hung her up by the feet over it. Then came creeping out her mouth six "arclucras" one after another. Then her father took her down and after that she never got a pain in her stomack.- Collector
