    The cures that I know of are very few. A dock-leaf is a good cure for nettle burn. A dandelion is a very good cure for a wart. If you got a big cut, a it was bleeding very bad, to pour parraffin oil in to the cut it would help to stop the blood of flowing. Parriffin oil is also a good cure for chilblains. The milk that the ferret leaves after him is a great cure for the whooping cough. Whiskey is a cure for toothache.
