- Get a small piece of lard and a teaspoonful of salt and mix them together, to form an onitment. Rub this ointment on the chilblains for three mornings and then they will be cured.
- Rub suet already rendered on the chilblains for three nights before retiring. The sight juice that remains in the suet when rubbed on the chilblains will cure them.
