    the cure of a burn. Garden-broom not the ordinary wild species boiled and the juice drunk was said to be a cure for kidney disease especially Brights disease. Roasted salt is an old fashioned cure for a sore throat. Slamish is a very good cure to stop bleeding. First you chew it and then apply it in a lump to the cut. Allenberries bruised and mixed with buttermilk and put on thickly on the top of a wart is a very good poultice for drawing a wart out.
