    Mumps:
    This is an old cure for the mumps. An ass is got and two women pass the under the ass for about eight times and the person is cured.
    Another cure for the mumps is get the water that the Blacksmith cools his pinchers in and rub it over your face and you will be cured in a day.
    Rheumatism:
    Go to a place were there are walls very close to one another and force yourself through them and you will be cured.
