    1. If you got a sting of a nettle a dock leaf would cure it
    2. If you got your leg or hand or back sprained goose-grease would cure it, or seal-oil.
    3. If you go a burn you would put a poultice of white bread to it.

This caused a great vapour into which the people went, and after a fixed time they had to jump into a pool of cold water.
