  1. (continued from previous page)
    a piece of paper bury the piece of paper under the door step and when the paper wears away so will the warts.
    Chicken weed cures a sore throat when it is boiled.
    A leaf of tobacco cures cuts.
    Lime water cures burns when you wash the burn in it.
    Sore cut is a cure for a sore hand or a sore foot when you wrap one of the plants up in the cloth that you are going to put on your hand. When you sprain your hand or leg get a piece of a thorn of a black thorn bush and tie it up in the cloth and tie all on the sprain and it will get better in a couple of days.
