- There are many old cures, for various diseases most of them are now forgotten.
Dandelion was used for diseases of the chest and lungs. Tansy was a favourite tonic. A herb called comfrey was used for healing cuts or burns or any diseases of the skin.
Whooping-cough was supposed to be cured by going under a donkey's legs.
Another cure for the whooping-cough was to drink the milk left over after a ferret had drank some. Mumps was cured by the sick person being led by a halter across a stream. Marsh-mallow was used for a swelling. Hemlock was used for a swelling also. Bog-bean was used for diseases of the stomach. Chicken-weed poultices were a common remedy for bruises or swelling.
Goose-berry thorns were used to cure styes on the eyes. Nine of the thorns were pointed at the eye for nine days and was supposed to contain a charm.
