Speak Out: 'Frontier Fixes' published in the Farmer's Almanac

Chicken Pox *** Remove your clothing and run around the chicken house three times

To many briar bushes behind my chicken house

Headaches *** Lean your head against a tree . Have someone on the opposite side of the tree drive a nail into the trunk .

Better hope the tree is thiker than the length of the nail or your headache may get worse.

Warts *** Dip the eye of a dead cat in spunk water and place it on the wart

Spunk water:) :) :)

  • Joe,

    Spunk Water is defined under the 'Arthritis' cure.

  • The chicken pox cure sounds like a Ray Steven's song

  • Methinks somebody running circles 'round the chicken house while naked may have other things to worry about than chicken pox...

  • Shapely,

    I have heard the term before, just makes me giggle like a 3rd grader though:)

  • I ran across this a while back while looking to validate a guy's story that his g grandma could cure small pox with may apples.
