- A burn is cured by black tea or the root of the Comfrey when the root is scraped and washed and boiled and made into a pulp and put a poultice of it on the burn. Or get a mankeeper or newt and lick him him and then lick the burn.
The rose or crysipelus is a very bad disease and many a person died from it. The cure for rose is fresh butter and the clippings of a horse's hoof. Many people know the cure for it but they keep it secret.
Warts are cured by rubbing the milk which is in chicken-weed to them or rub a black snail to them and then put a thread through his eyes and hang him on a sloe brush and as the snail is dying your warts are getting better.- Collector
