  1. The Cure of the Mumps

    Share Share Post
    Mumps is a common disease. There is one cure that puts it away. A bridle is got and put on the head of the person who has the disease and he goes around the stable three times and each time he goes around he has to put in his head each time on the door of the stable. And it will go away in a day or two after.
