  2. Cures

    1. A very good cure for any cut going septic. Boil the leaves of a plant called Bachelor's-Buttons and then pound them into pulp. Add sugar baking-soda and oat-meal and mix well. Then it is ready for use. The poultice has to be put on warm and left for half an hour.
    2. A cure for the whooping cough is to go under a donkey three times and then catch a trout and fill its mouth with water. Then drink the water three times. This is said to be a good cure.
