    Long ago people had a lot of cures which they have not now. These are some of them:-
    Wart:- The people used to put a snail on it or water from a rock.
    Burn:- They used to get an erb in the field or burn the same place again.
    Thorn:- They used to put a foxes tongue to it.
    Toothache:- They used to put candle grease in it.
