  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    The old people long ago had many cures. If they had a sore eye they would rub their fasting spit to it in the morning and it would get better.
    The best cure they had for a rash in the face was to write their names around it.
    If you burned your finger warm it to the fire.
    If you got a sting of a nettle put a dock leaf up to it.
    If you cut your finger get a cobweb and put it down on it.
    The best cure for a sprain is to hold it under a spring water spout.
