    bury a piece of fat meat in the garden, and if the meat decayed the warts went. People also washed their hands three times on three different occasions in the water left on a hollow stone after rain.
    Flax seed was used for sore throats. The seed was boiled and the water in which it boiled was taken. Another remedy was to turn your stocking inside out and leave it on your neck for the night.
    Ointment made from brown sugar and soap was good for deep cuts.
