- Long ago the people had cures for mostly every disease. The cure for the whooping cough was to give the milk left after the ferrit to the person who had it another cure was a drink of milk from a mare rearing the first foal. To go to the cross of four roads and the first person who would come on to ask for a cure and whatever they would say it would cure it.If people had anything wrong with their throats to cure was to let the gander blow his breath into the diseased person's mouth.A cure for "yellow jaudice" was to go at day-break and drink where three bounderys met.
