    If you have warts get as many straws as warts and bury them in the ground. Then as the straws rot so will the warts.
    If you have the whooping cough boil grounsel in new milk and drink the milk.
    If yo have a gum boil put roasted raisins to it while hot . This will cure it.
    If you had a bleeding finger hold it above your heart and it stop bleeding.
