  1. Cures

    Share Share Post
    In the country the people used to put cobwebs on cuts. They say that any cut treated like this would be gone in a couple of days Some people say that if you lick a frog you have the cure of a burn. A very good cure for warts is to put the water that the blacksmith uses for cooling horse-shoes on them for (abot) about a week.
