  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    In olden times the people had many cures of their own. They had curs for the toothache, thrush, colds, headache, scald and hurt. They do not run for the doctor (evevery) every time there is anything wrong with them otherwise the doctor would be always in the house with them.
    They cured the headache with a piece wide cloth tied around their head. Everyone used this remedy. It cured most people and it done no good to more people.
