    Local Cures.
    Long ago the people were great to make cures for themselves without going to a doctor.
    They believed in herbs which are the best. A few of the following are considered very good. If one had warts rub the juice of dandelion to them and they would be gone in two days.
    If one got a sting of a nettle get a dockleaf and put it to the sting for a few minutes and the pain would be gone.
