  2. Cures

    Share Share Post
    If you hurt any part over your eye and then rub the juice of any flower on it it would not swell.
    Boil the roots of daisies and the barks of elders and the tops of grass with unsalted butter and leave them to cool. That is a cure for a burn.
    If you have warts and get a black snail when you are not looking for it and rub it on the warts. Then put the snail on a black thorn bush and then according as the snail withers the wart withers too.
