164 FOE THE PILES. 



FOR THE PILES. 



Take tlie kernel of three peacli seeds, masli 

 them well, tlien add hog's lard or fresh butter, 

 not salted, enough to form a salve and rub this 

 between two butter plates until it becomes of a 

 bluish color, grease with it and take enough 

 rhubarb to keep the bowels open. 



CERTAIN CURE FOR CANCER. 



Take 1 pint of strong lev and boil down till 

 it forms a salve, then apply every 15 minutes 

 until seven plasters have been applied, and as 

 soon as it begins to bleed stop the applications, 

 then work the core out and grease with hog's 

 lard to kill it; heal with ointment or some good 

 salve. When the ley has been boiled down, 

 should the substance that remains become hard, 

 work it into a salve. This is also good for the 

 cure of fistula or poll evil in horses.
