Pat Taylor, now dead had this cure: Get some fresh robin-run-the-hedge- (a weed) boil in saucepan at night, pour into a bowl and let cool until morning - and drink some of it Another cure is to rub goats milk on the boils. Then boil the milk many times then let cool and the boils will soon disappear.
