Re: [Cz-L] Shemen Oil in Czernowitz

We have moved apartments and I am catching up on my e-mails.

Re: olive oil.
When I had an ear ache my grandmother would go out and buy a very small
bottle of olive oil. She would heat the oil and place a few drops in my
aching ear.
If I remember right it used to help.

Does somebody remember another Babe remedy; it used to be called
something with wine. (It was baby urine ?) I forgot for what ailment it
was used.
