- There were many old cures in the old days and the following are some - soap and sugar for drawing boils, Gillea boiled in new milk, strained and drunk as a cure for kidney disease. The old people used build small houses made of flags. There was a fire in these houses to hear the flags. When they were heated the fire would be removed. People who suffered from pains would go into these houses and the heat would make them swear. There was one of these in Boolatten near Tour.
