    The water in which salted mackerel is boiled in is used as a cure for colic - the patient drink it.
    A cure for vomiting is to get some milk and new milk and mix them together then boil the mixture. Strain off the whey and drink it.
    An other very good cure for vomiting is to drink the water in which toast is steeped in. It is supposed to be very good for stopping vomiting.
    A cure for freckles is to wash your face for some time with very sour milk.
