  1. Cures IX

    Share Share Post
    If you got a sprain in your hand or foot you should wrap a woollen thread that you would get from a weaver around it. Unsalted butter was the best cure for boils and if you put a glass in hot water and then put it to the boil and pull it away again it would cure it.
