Put kerosene on cuts and wounds on people, didn't burn like alochol.To cure warts on cattle, crush the wart with wire pliers and the body will make anti-bodies to destroy them. Lots of old time cures that are cheaper than visits to the vet. Sulfur mixed with Vaseline makes a good wound protector for livestock also.
