Curious Remedies.

In some parts of England one of the
best cures for a swollen neck is to
draw d snake nine times across the
throat of the suffering one. after
which the snake is killed, and its skin
sewed in a silken bag and tightly
sewed around the neck. Another way.
almost as good. is to put the live snake
in a bottle, which is tightly corked
and buried near the roots of a rose
bush. and as the helpless snake de-
Gays the swelling in the neck of the
