If the people had a cough or cold there was an herb to cure it called "Horehound".2. For healing cuts they used sulphur and lard mixed together.3. If a person cut himself there was an herb to stop it from bleeding called the "Man-in-the-Garden.4. If a person had a sore throat salt roasted on a shovel and put in a woollen stocking was tied around the neck.
