  1. Old Cures - Ringworm

    Share Share Post
    Ring worm
    Get some-one to write your name in ink around the spot of ringworm. The ringworm cannot spread past the circle made by your name.
    Another cure for the ringworm is to get a golden wedding-ring and rub it round the spot three times.
