    Share Share Post
    Chilblains are very common in this district. There are numerous cures for this complaint. The cures are as follows.
    Put a poultice of loaf bread steeped in vinegar on the chilblain and allow it to remain on them overnight . The vinegar burns the pain away and also reduces the swelling.
