    Local Cures
    Cures are very interesting things to study because if you bleed from the nose there are many ways of curing it such as if you put a key at the back of your neck it will stop the bleeding. The cure for warts is if you steal a piece of fat bacon and rub it on the warts then bury it and when it rots the warts will begin to go away.
