    Burns
    There is an old woman living in Ryland Road and whenever any of her sons got a burn she used to melt a blessed candle and a piece of lard and put it on the burn. It would prevent it blistering and would take the pain from it.
    This is another cure for a burn. Grate a boiled cold potato and rub it up and down gently over the burn and put the salt over it. It draws the pain from the burn and it does not blister.
