    “The cure for sore wars is the leaf of the woodbine ground in the mouth.”

    The cure for sore ears is the leaf of the woodbine ground in the mouth. The liquid which comes out of it is then rubbed to the affected part.
    Your fasting spit every morning for nine mornings is the cure for a sty.
