  1. How to draw them.
    Get a bottle. Boil a kettle and play the steam on the bottle. When the bottle is very hot take the kettle away and put the mouth of the bottle on the boil. When the bottle cools it will suck the corruption out of the boil. If the bottle will not come off heat it again. This will make it come off. I saw my Daddy doing this.

  2. If you have a ringworm get a piece of tobacco and put it in your mouth and then take it out and the spit that is on the tobacco put on the ringworm. Do this three times a day for three days.
