  1. Cures - Burn

    Share Share Post
    I heard the following cure for a burn. Get a peice of hog's lard and a laurel leaf. Cut both of them up very small and fry them together and when they are fried rub them to the burn for a while. Repeat this until the burn is cured. Another cure is olive oil, lime and water mixed together and then rubbed to it.

  2. Cures - Chilblains

    Share Share Post
    This is the cure for chillblains. The cure can be obtained before they break out. Pick a puca and rub it to the chillblains. A puca is like a dew and is full of dust. The dust cures the chillblains.

    I heard the following cure for an ear ache. Go to a person who is smoking a pipe and get him to blow the smoke into the ear. This is supposed to be a good cure.
