    A Cure for Sore Eyes.
    Sore eyes can be cured in the following way:-
    Every morning for nine mornings in succession wash them carefully with cold tea without either milk or sugar in it.
    This treatment cured my neighbour, Brian Hegarty who suffered much from sore eyes two or three years ago.
