usally, most people did not he way of curing someone wih rabies. the most common way was to drink lots of fluids, and rest. If it was possible, a damp cloth would be [laced the the person's head in order to bring down the temperatureof the inflicted settler.
Prior to the 1880s and Pastuer's rabies vaccine there were several treatments that were largely ineffective.
Wound cauterization, vapor bathes (steam treatment with aromatics), sucking on the wound like a snake bite, applying of caustic substances (basically the same as cauterization, but through chemical means), applying the hair of the dog that bit you onto the wound, or eating the heart and/or liver of the animal that bit you.
This is where the modern term, "hair of the dog," as a hangover cure comes from.
they take their fingernail and scratch the tip of their nose if they wanna live
They shot it before it bit anyone or anything else and could spread the disease.

If you mean animals with rabies they would be shot. I doubt they ran into many animals with rabies. I have read numerous diary entries written by people who were pioneers and not one mentioned animals with rabies. They wrote about dust, disease, death, birth, flooded wagons, the mountains and snow.

In the 1800's on the Oregon Trail a person who caught dysentery was in trouble from the start. Until Gregory Colloni of Italy, a pioneer on the trail, mixed leaves from a pine tree with water and egg white. The patients tried the potion and it worked successfully. Mr. Colloni is one of the unknown heroes of the world. If not for him, many more people would have died on the Oregon trail.
they covered the burn in egg white
There was no treatment for it. Most of the people who got it died especially the children. I remember walking through the graveyard at Silver City Nevada and every other grave was a child who died of smallpox. On the trail they had less chance,of survival.
On the Oregon Trail, to cure Cholera they would give the infected person laudanum (an opium tincture useful in combating the disease). If the travelers didn't have laudanum, they would increase fluid and salt intake to prevent dehydration, and give the person lots of rest.
Actually, it is treated by mixing pine tree with water and egg whites. Drink this every day or so.
