    Sty in the Eye:- A thorn of a gooseberry bush is pointed at the stye. The person is to do this three times a day and at the end of three days the sty is gone.
    Gumboil:- The gumboil is a very sore thing which causes swelling in the jaw. This torture can be easily stopped by putting a stocking full of roasted salt on the swollen jaw which causes the gumboil to burst and after a few hours the pain goes away.
    A Lump on the head:- a cold stone is put on the lump and by degrees the swelling lowers.
