Reading some of these stories reminded me of some of my mothers own cures when growing up in Big Stone Gap in the middle 50s. A cold spoon on the back of the neck for a nose bleed. Three of four drops of your own urine in your ear for an ear ache. Tobacco from a cigarette chewed and moistened to be applied for a bee sting. I don't know what all was in her "mustard plaster" that was wrapped around my foot when I stepped on a large nail. Elderberry tea made from the boiling of Elderberry bark for arthritis and rheumatism. Probably could think of a few more if I really thought about it long enough. Cecil
