    A cure for a scald is to get a lot of loral leaves and cut them up in fine pieces and mix and lard among them and then boil them and when they are boiled strane the juice out of them and and put it in a box or a jar and leave it there for about an hour and it will be like lard, and then you could put it on the scald..
