    “A sprain is cured by rubbing goose grease to the injured joint.”

    A sprain is cured by rubbing goose grease to the injured joint.
    People rub linseed oil to a burn, as they say it eases the pain, they also hold the burned part near the fire.
    Paraffin oil would ease the pain of sore teeth but it would rot them afterwards.
