  1. Chilblains: Boil some bark of an oak tree in salty water. Rub the liquid on the chilblain.
    Jaundice: Peel the bark from the Barberry Bush. Boil the bark in new milk. Drink a glass of the medicine once a day.
    Nettle Stings: The juice of the Dock leaf cures Nettle Stings.
    Warts: Rub a snail or slug on the wart, then hang the snail or slug on a thorn. According as the snail decays the wart also decays.
    Warts: Your fasting spit rubbed on the wart each morning for nine consecutive mornings will banish the wart.
