    great cure for a sting is a butter dalk leaf rubbed on the sting.
    A tank containing water that has become rusty and the hands dipped in is a cure for warts. Every morning if seawater is sniffed up the nose is a good cure for a stoppage in the nose. To cure a bleeding of the nose put a key down your back.
