  1. Cures
    A cure for a bad cold.
    If you have a bad cold get a cup of milk and an onion. Boil the onion through the milk. Then drink what is left and eat the onion after.
    A cure for a sore throat.
    If you have a sore throat get a cup of luke-warm water and put a grain of salt in it. Then gargle the throat with this solution.
