- Local CuresThe best cure I know for a toothache is to rub root to it.A cure for whooping cough is to put pepper in hot milk and drink it. There is a herb growing in places and if you eat it it would cure you.Sore eyes.
If you washed your eyes with milk and water. To cure boils, if you put a potato into the fire and roasted it, it would break a boil. To bathe them in hot water. If you filled a bottle with boiled water. Then empty out the water and put the bottle up to the boil.- Collector
