GRANNY CURES

   Granny suggested that a tea made by boiling an old boot would cure a backache.

 

 To cure a sore throat Granny would find a dirty old sock and tie it around your throat.  

 

   Grandpa's chewing tobacco might come in handy if you got a bee sting.

 

 Granny says if you are suffering from gas just raise your arm up and down three times.  

 

   An open wound was treated several ways. One was to put a cow patty on the sore. Yuk!
