    Chincough
    The milk a ferret leaves after him give it to the child to drink.
    Thrush
    In the older times when a child had thrush, they used to get a gander and put its beak into the child’s mouth, and make him screech in her mouth, and then the child would get better.
    They also used to boil a frog and put the water the frog was boiled in, into the child’s milk.
