  1. To Cure Warts

    Share Share Post
    Get a blade of grass with the knot in the middle of the blade at the year's growth, and roll the blade in brown paper and put it in your pocket. Loose it sometime you don't notice, and by the time the grass withers the wart will be gone.

  2. To Cure a Sore Ear

    Get some bran and put it in a tin and heat some until it is quite warm. Get a stocking and put the bran in it and then tie it on your ear and in the morning it will be quite better.
