- (continued from previous page)Bruises:
The only treatment that does any good is to bathe the injured part with cold water - the colder the better - to check the diffusion of the blood through the tissues.
The part should be kept as still as possible and not be rubbed. Insect bites and stings:
Remove the sting. Squeeze and suck wound. Neutralise poison with strong liquid, ammonia, or apply spirits of wine or blue to the sting of a bee. - Boils:
A bread poultice is very good for boils.
Warts:
Let a snail creep along the hand where the warts are.
Rub the milk of the dandelion into the warts.(continues on next page)- Informant
