Cure for boils

When having large pimples or boils on the body, take the
membrane (skin) inside the raw egg and place this on the boil;
this will draw the infection in the bump to the surface of the
skin so that it can be lanced and all the pus will come out.

James Callow comment: Cf. Puckett, Ohio, no. 8183.
