REMEDY

IF YOU GET AN EARACHE YOU CAN CURE IT BY USING A NEWSPAPER. MAKE A
FUNNEL FROM A FEW PAGES OF NEWSPAPER AND HOLD THE SMALL END TO YOUR
EAR. THEN LIGHT A MATCH AND HOLD IT AT THE OUTSIDE OF THE FUNNEL. THE
HOT AIR WILL GET RID OF THE PAIN.

Submitter comment: HIS MOTHER USED TO USE THIS METHOD TO CURE EARACHES, AND HE SAYS IT
WORKS.
