- Whooping Cough – Catch a trout in the river and bring it in water to the afflicted child. Give the sufferer three drops of the fish’s mouth, and then liberate the trout in the exact spot you found it.
Bleeding at the Nose – Wash the neck and head in water from a cut-away bog, and place a generous portion of the bog-mud under the throat.
