    Ringworm
    Rub soft soap to the affected part. Rub iodine to the ringworm. A mixture of sulphur a butter is good for ringworm.
    Toothache
    Old people said "Put a frog in your mouth" and the toothache will ease the pain. Keep a spoon of whiskey in your mouth and the pain stops. Some people say to put salt in the tooth.
    Cuts
    To keep cuts from bleeding put a spiders web on it
    Stings
    For stings of bees place some honey on the sting and it will relieve the pain and the sting will not swell. Blue is also good for a sting.
