    Corns
    Houseleek is good for corns or pare them with a blade.
    A cloth soaked in oil is good for a burn. Also ink, it keeps it from blistering.
    Pain in the head
    For a pain in the head a piece of brown paper the size of the forehead is got and vinegar is put on it and it is put on the forehead. Then the pain goes.
