    A cure for burns is, make a poultice of sliced potatoes and put it to the burn.
    If your nose bleeds put a key down your back.
    This is a cure for jaundice. Boil some worms in new milk. Then strain the milk and give it to the sick person to drink.
    If you have an ear ache toast a slice of bread and bind it to the ear this will cure it.
    When your nose bleeds press the leaf of a nettle to the roof of your mouth and it will stop bleeding.
