  1. In olden times the people were very wise and had many cures.
    For teethaches they used to put Bread Soda into them and in a few minutes they were gone.
    If they ever got sore eyes they used to wash them in cold tea this method also succeeded.
    When they ever got any kind of a burn they used to make up a cure called comici-fee and in a few days the burn would be healed.
