  1. The Cure for the Measles

    Share Share Post
    Another bad disease is the measles. It is like a rash on the skin and it comes when children are young. It is said that not many people escape this disease. It generally goes away after a week or so but in case of it lingering the two old cures hold good; nettle tea to be drunk every morning until the spots have disappeared. Donkey's mill is another good cure for the measles, it is also taken until the spots have been banished
