When children used have the measles long ago they used boil
sheep's droppings in new milk and give it to the child to drink and 'twas a great cure.
Another cure for the measles was ferret's leavings (the milk he'd leave after him). Long ago people used drink a lot of sheep's milk - especially the children; and a lot of goats' milk.
They say that dunkey's (donkey's) milk is the most healthy milk of 'em all, that any child rared (reared) on it would never get a disease.
