  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people had cures of their own for aches, sicknesses, and pains, the cure for warts was to put a black snail on them and it is said they would get better.
    Another cure for a stye on your eye is to point the thorn of a gooseberry bush nine mornings in succession this is said to be a cure.
