- A sty on the eye mabe cured by a prod of a gooseberry thorn.
To cure a boil put some very hot water in a bottle and place the neck of the bottle to the boil, the heat will draw the boil
If you get a sting of a wasp run it with blue
If you get a sting of a nettle rub it with a dock leaf
If you have warts put holy water on them for nine Fridays.
