    Cures
    1. This cure is for shingles. Bleed a black hen in three places and rub the blood to the shingles. Shingles are also called St. Anthony's fire.
    2. This cure is for a pain in the ear. Get half an onion and put it to the ear in which the pain is until the pain will stop.
    3. If you have corns get up early in the morning and walk around in the dewy grass. This will soften them and the corns will fall off.
