    Cure for Lienstroke
    Wrap a wet cloth bandage over the head. Wet another cloth folded small, and square. Cover it thickly with salt and bind it on the back of the neck. Apply dry salt behind the ears. Put mustard plasters to the calves of the legs and soles of the feet. This is an effectual remedy.

    Cure for Fainting
    Immediately place the person fainting in a lying position with head lower than body. In this way consciousness returns immediately, while in the erect position, it often ends in death.
