    cure mineric fever with a certain herb.
    My Mothers cure for a very bad cold is to get into a bath filled with extremely hot water and lie down in it, after ten minutes to put more hot water in and then more and more. Then get out dry yourself get to bed and cover yourself up to the chin. In five minutes the sweat will roll down in bucketfuls, but on no account take the bedclothes off and in the morning the patient will be completely cured.
