    Scalds
    (1) A cure for scalds is carron oil. When you get a scald rub some carron oil on it and apply a bandage to it. After a couple of weeks the scald is cured.

  2. When people get a scald they go gathering cow-droppings and apply them to the portion of their body affected by the scald. The droppings must be in their natural state.
