- (continued from previous page)When a baby has croup, people place the ganders bill in the child's mouth and make him scream for three mornings in succession. Another cure for it is, a person who never saw his or her father, to come three mornings in succession, and blow his or her breath into the child's mouth, and the child is cured.For a pain in the ear, get an onion and roast it, and put it to the ear.A cure for a crick in the neck is to draw a straw from the tick, and put it down the back.A cure for measles is the first man you meet riding a white horse, ask him for a cure for the measles, and do what he says, and you are cured.If a child who has never seen its father walks over a person who has a pain in the back, the backache is cured.
