    If you had sore eyes get tea leaves and shut your eyes, but it on your eyes and they shut.
    If you had boils make a poultice of linseed meal. Method - Boil some water and put a grain of linseed meal on it. Stir it and let it boil. Put it on a cloth and put it on the boil hot. If you had not it hot it would be no good.
    If you had a stone bruise you should put a poultice of linseed meal on it also. It takes all the bad stuff out of it and makes a lump. You can let go the stuff then.
    Another cure for a stone bruise is put some loaf bread in water and make it very soft. Put it on the stone bruise then.
