- I heard this cure for corns at home. The cure is - when you get up in the morning put on your shoes and walk to a bog. Then take off your shoes and walk through the bog this is to be done while the dew is on the grass. It is said that this will cure the corns.
- I got a cure at home for pains. The cure is to make dandeline wine and to put in in a bottle for six weeks. When the six weeks are up the person who suffers should drink twice a day and it is said that it would cure the pains.
