  1. Cures

    Share Share Post
    Long ago my Grandmother used to cure evils on peoples faces with herbs mixed with old lard and garlic, toacco, and old leather burned into dust. I do not know the name of the herb but I know it by sight and I remember pulling that herb for her when I was a little boy about five years of age and she cured many a one that was suffering from those sores. She cured three whose names I can give. And those are the names.
