  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    People in olden days used to cure warts with a snail, simply by rubbing the snail over the wart, then placing the snail on a bush to die, and by the time the snail would have died, the wart would have vanished. A cure for corns was to go out in the morning bare-foot and run around in the dew, for about ten minutes, and after a week the corns would be cured
    For bleeding cuts the cure was to place a cobweb over the cut and it was supposed to stop the blood from coming.
