    A cure for a stye on the eye is to get a thorn of a gooseberry bush and to point the thorn three at the stye. Then it will get better.
    A cure for a burn of a nettle is to get a docken and to rub it to the burn and it will take the pain away.
    A cure for corns is to melt washing-soda in warm water and to wash your feet in the water and that it will soften the corns.
