    Water that a blacksmith uses to cool irons cures Chilblains. Castor oil heated cures a pain in your ear. Black sulphur and lard cures ringworms. Bran and vinegar cures a sprain. Blue cures a sting of a wasp. Salt and water cures gum boils. Glycerine and rose water cures chapped hands. Flour and whiskey cures arraciplus (erysipelas). Sweet oil and wax candle cures scald. An ivy leaf cures corns. Onion water cures boils.
