    Local Cures
    If you cut yourself get a cobweb and put it on the wound. It will stop the bleeding.
    If you are bloodless there is a weed called "Yarrow" found on river banks boil this and drink the juice.
    A cure for a ring worm is to rub ink on it every Tuesday for nine Tuesdays and say some prayer to Saint Anthony.
