Hi Lois, Why would there be cork on a horse's leg? Thanks, PT From: zzekel...@aol.com [mailto:zzekel...@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 8:43 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>CS Old horseman's cure for boils When I was young I was plagued with boils in my ears. No Dr. could find a reason..I was out in the garage with my Dad when an old farmer came in ( he was running his team in a "horse pull " down the road. I was in pain--the old fellow asked what was wrong Dad told him---He said " Heck I can tell you what to do---get a cup of vinegar in a pan--go out & cut some cork off the horse's leg & boil it in the vinegar for 5 or so minuets. When it cools put it in her ears two times a day.....I had a horse at the time & we did what he said-- It took about a week, as best I can remember, I never had another boil & I do not have wax in my ears...Now I wonder if it was just the vinegar or if there was something in the cork that when mixed worked....Lois No virus found in this message.
