  1. Cures - A Burn

    Share Share Post
    Cures
    A Burn
    Pour some olive oil on the part burned, and cover to keep out the air.
    If olive oil cannot be had, cover the part burned with some bicarbonate of soda or flour.
    The dust of a "Bocken" Barrow is a cure for a burn. Take the dust from the "Bocken" Barrow and rub it on the burned part.
