    Pain in the ear: Roasted onion and apply to ear.
    Pain in the stomach: for an infant they would hold it by the feet and let the head hang down for a few seconds.

    Local Cures.
    If a person had a toothache it was an old custom to get soda and hot milk. To give milk to a ferret and all that he would leave after him that he would not be able to drink, would be a cure for the whooping cough.
