    applies this ointment to the boil or sore it will be cured no matter how bad it may be. I, myself have been cured by this method. This man never takes any for the ointment, but the person must bring him the eggs for the ointment. For a person who is affected with consumption there is nothing better than to boil dandelions and drink the juice.
    Many modern people do not believe in old-fashioned cures but personally I think there is nothing better.
