    A cure for warts on the face is to tie a short piece thread on the wart and it will go away in a week.
    A cure for boils is to get a piece of soap and chop it up in tiny pieces and mix it with sugar, out it on a bandage and hold it over the boil for a day or two.
    A cure for a scald is tp out a piece of flour on the affected part immediately after it has been scalded and it will not blister.
