  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    There are many home cures which people try sucessfully without telling the doctor.
    1 "Rosenoble" boiled is a cure for a rash called "Hives" on children.
    2 "Garlic" and "flaxseed" boiled is a cure for a cold.
    3 If you have a sty on your eye and point nine gooseberries thorns at it and thrown away the tenth one it will cure it.
