- Bad Cuts:
This is a cure I heard of for a man who was walking over a field when he trod on a slash hook, and got a very bad cut. He went home and told the people of the house to go outside and get him a handful of fresh cow-dung. When he got it he took a big cloth and put the dung into it, then he put the cloth into the sore and tied it closely, and in a few days the sore was gone.Warts:
Another cure for warts is to get a weed called the Dandy milk and cut the stem off it, and squeeze the milk of the stem on to the warts and in a week or two all the warts will be gone.- Collector
