    "Mumps"
    Chicken-weed roasted on a bed on the fire and applied to the affected part as hot as it can be beared is an old cure.
    Chincough
    If a child had chincough give milk to a ferret and whatever he leaves after him give it to the child to drink. This was thought to be an infallible cure.
