    A cure for a sty in your eye is to get nine strawberry thorns and each day for nine days put a thorn to your eye and at the end of nine days your eye should be better.
    The cure of a sting of a nettle is to get a dock leaf and rub it to the sting and the pain will stop
    When you have a wart on your hand rub a snail on it and then hang the snail up on a nail and when the snail is decayed the wart is gone.
