    Long ago before any doctors came to this Country the people had cures of their own. A cure for the whooping cough is to get a piece of bread from a married woman who had not changed her name.
    Another cure is put a child under the belly of an ass nine times

    A cure for a sprained ankle is to put the white of an egg and comfrey in a bandage on the leg.
