Another cure is the milk that a ferret leaves after him, and syrup made from spearment, water cress, and the of the woodbine.To cure sore eyes wash them in a little well of water found in a rock when you are not looking for it. This is also a cure for warts.Stye or wisp in the eye is cured by cold tea or by being rubbed with a wedding ring.For thrush borax and honey is a cure.
