    For a sore throat drink milk in which a dandelion has been boiled. Another cure for boils is to fill a bottle with boiling water and place it on the boil.
    Chilblains are cured by washing them in forge water. Another cure for chilblains is to wash them with parafin oil. A cure for the toothache: get a frog and put him to your jaw.
