1. Loss weight.  Put a little bit of vinegar on your food.  It will help to take the edge off of your appetite.

3. Help a sore throat.  Mix 1 tsp of vinegar in a glass of water.  Gargle and swallow.
4. Cure the hiccups.  Swallow a tbsp of vinegar.  Of course, I don't know which is worse the hiccups or the vinegar. 
5. Treat a cold sore.  Dry up a cold sore with with a cotton ball soaked in vinegar.  Put on cold sore 3 times a day.  It will soothe the pain and swelling.

15. Remove warts.  Apply a lotion of 1/2 apple cider vinegar and 1/2 glycerin.  Put on warts daily until they are gone.
16. Remove corns and calluses.  Make a poultice by soaking a piece of stale bread in 1/4 c of white vinegar.  Let it soak for about 30 minutes.  Put a piece over the corn or callus and keep in place with a bandage, gauze or tape.  Leave on overnight.  The corn/callus should come off easily.  For some, it may take a couple of days doing this.
