  1. Old Cures

    Share Share Post
    In the olden times people had many cures and they were very good cures too. Here are a few:
    1. For a sore heel get a piece of brown paper and rub soap on the paper and a drop of hot water. Then place this on the heel.
    2. For a gum boil, roast a fig at the fire and hold it to the gum.
