Here are some of the one's I can remember.
-urine will cure an ear ache/stopped up ear
-tobacco will cure pain from a bee sting
-burnt (used) motor oil rubbed on a dog with the mange will cure it
-put kerosene on a cut to promote healing and stop infection
-put salt directly on an ulcer
-death's come in threes
I could probably think of a lot more if I put my mind to it.

I could probably think of a lot more if I put my mind to it. I've heard all of those. Never tried the urine in the ear before though. I'm just not that flexible. 
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I saw this with my own eyes. When I was little, we had a red bird in our bay window pecking on it for several days. Momma told us that there would be a death in the family soon. Couple days after the bird left, my step-grandmother died.
Sad to say that we are loosing some of these older sayings and remedies. Sorry to hear about your step-grandmom . Its funny you mention about the bird pecking on the window...about 3 years ago we had this finch/oriole/ something or other that would fly right up to our bedroom window and because he would see his reflection of himself, he would try to attack what he thought was another bird,...I guess it was mating season for them because it was mid springtime. Well this got really really old after about 5 days of this crap,especially before you would wake up in the morning!! He would actually be loud enough to get me up outta bed. Sooooo,.. I reckon the ol saying is somewhat right cause after 5 days of that chit I got my Benjamin 22 pump pellet rifle out and that very same bird did in fact die that same day!!

Heard the hornets nest last year for the first time.
In order to determine the sex of an unborn baby. Simply tie a ring on a string and apparently whether it spins righty or lefty determines if its a boy or girl

Honey bee stings help with arthritis pain. I know a guy who swears by it.
I have seen my grandpa get some bad cuts and he would use turpentine and sugar. He never went to the doctor. My grandma had paw pull one of her teeth with a pair of pliers. She was a tough woman. I've had arthritis since I was about 22, and bee stings DO help, if close to or on the affected joint.

LOL I probably killed 2 dozen red birds, mockingbirds, and blue jays over the years when I lived @ my parents' house for pecking on the window. They were like frigging drug dealers...kill one and there were two waiting to take his place!

Turpentine and sugar for a worm remedy also. I've never tried this one but my wife said that her Grandma used to worm all of the grandkids occasionally, just in case.

I seen a show some time back about people with arthritis going to an acupuncture type outfit for bee stings. Pretty interesting. Most of the 40 ingredients in bee venom have been identified," says Cohen. "Mellitin, an anti-inflammatory agent found in the venom, is one hundred times stronger than cortisone

My B.I.L. grandad would stick a penny down the dogs throat to deworm them. And said it would also keep them from getting worms in the future
