  1. How to Cure Mumps

    Share Share Post
    When children had mumps long ago their father or their mother put horse's winkers on the one that had the mumps, and led them to the well and let them take three drinks of water and after that they got better.

    Share Share Post
    First the people get a donkey and made it eat oat bread. There were two people, one stood at each side of the donkey then they reached through the one that had whooping cough three times over the donkey's back and through its four legs: after that the child got better.
