TO BANISH THE WHOOPING COUGH.
Cut three small bunches of hair from the crown of the head of a child
that has never seen its father; sew this hair up in an unbleached rag and
hang it around the neck of the child having the whooping cough. The thread
with which the rag is sewed must also be unbleached.
ANOTHER REMEDY FOR THE WHOPPING
COUGH WHICH HAS CURED THE MAJORITY OF
THOSE WHO HAVE APPLIED IT.
Thrust the child having the whooping cough three times through a
blackberry bush, without speaking or saying anything. The bush, however,
must be grown fast at the two ends, and the child must be thrust through
three times in the same manner, that is to say, from the same side it was
thrust through in the first place.
A GOOD REMEDY TO STOP BLEEDING.
This is the day on which the injury happened. Blood, thou must stop, until the
Virgin Mary bring forth another son.
Repeat these words three times.A GOOD REMEDY FOR THE TOOTHACHE.
Stir the sore tooth with a needle until it draws blood; then take a thread
and soak it with this blood. Then take vinegar and flour, mix them well so
as to form a paste and spread it on a rag, then wrap this rag around the root
of an apple-tree, and tie it very close with the above thread, after which the
root must be well covered with ground.
