    the cure for the whooping cough is milk a ferret has been drinking from. This is given to the patient and the cure will come in a few day
    The cure for a burn is for a person to lick a live lizard's belly and then lick the the burn. Another cure for the burn is for a person who has been born with a caul to lick it and blow his breath on it.
    Nettle tea was the cure for the measles. This was made by boiling nettles and then straining the water off them. The water was given to the invalid.
