Cure to stop bleeding. No 14.
Get a cobweb and spread it over the cut, and it will stop for bleeding at once.
Cure for |Whitlow. No. 15
Get a lemon, cut it in two and bandage one half on the finger for 12 hours, take the other half, and bandage on for 12 hours more. At the end of that time it will have taken the whitlow out and there will be a little hole in the finger. Bandage finger and keep clean till this has filled in.- Collector
