  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    People say a spider's web will stop a wound from bleeding. An ivy leaf will heal a wound. The cure for a burn is flour and sheep-dip mixed together. The heart of a stone cures consumption. The cure for warts is to find water on a stone when you are not searching for it and dip the warts in it. A person that never saw his or her father has the cure of foul-mouth. The seventh son has the cure of ring-worm
