My wife has been reading a book called "Ozark Magic and Folklore" by Vance Randolph. It was originally published in 1947 and has all sorts of old wive's tales in it. I've heard a lot of them growing up in this area but there are a lot of new ones to me. Well yesterday she came upon the section about curing toothaches and thought I would share it with you.

"Another way to cure a toothache is to find the skeleton of a horse or mule. Be sure that nobody is watching you. Pick up the jawbone with your teeth and walk backward nine steps, being careful not to touch the thing with your hands, and then let it fall to the ground. This done, walk away without looking back, and do not mention the matter to anybody. If the pain doesn't stop within 30 minutes or so, it means that somebody did see you with the mule's jaw in your mouth. In that case, the only thing you can do is to hunt up another skeleton and go through the whole business again."

I'm still not sure how to process that paragraph. What are some of your favorite bits of folklore?
