  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    If a person had a wart they should hide a bit of meat under a stone and while it would be rotting the wart would be disappearing. If a person had a sore face they should rub vinegar to it and it would cure it. If a persons nose was bleeding they should put the key of the door down their neck, and lie in their back and in a few minutes the bleeding would stop.
    If a person had a sty in his eye, he should look through a gold ring and it would get cured.
