    21st November 1938
    There are many cures in this district. If you had a tooth ache put wadden and iodine in your mouth. To cure warts rub flour to them every night for nine nights before going to bed. Another cure is where your nose is bleading if you put the key of the door down your back it will stop the blood. Another cure is if you have the chin-cough ask the first man you meet with a grey horse ask him for a cure and whtever he tells you it will cure it.
