  1. Homes Cures

    Share Share Post
    The cure for warts is if you were walking along a field and came to a stone with a little sup of water in it rub your warts with it and according as the water would be going away your warts would be going away. A cure for a bile in any part of your body is rub soap and sugar to it. You should grind the sugar and make it fine. The cure for a tooth ache is iodine, bread soda, pepper and oil of cloves. Another cure for a wart is to rub your fasting spit nine mornings in succession.
