- In olden times people had many different cures:1. Buttermilk and clay rubbed to sore eyes will cure them.2. To cure warts get linen thread and put a knot on the thread for every wart. Then put the thread in a double hawthorn bush and when the thread rots the warts will fall off.3. For a cough get an egg and stick a needle in it. Suck the white of the egg and it will cure the cough.
