    My mother has a cure for a burn. It is to boil a pint of cream in a saucepan. When it boils peel bees wax into the cream and then put it on a saucer to cool. Then put it into the saucepan again and let it boil again, and do that for three times. Then put it on the burn and after a few days it is better.
