- (continued from previous page)To cure Jaundice eat a lot of onions.
To cure rheumatic pains bathe the parts affected in very hot water in which potatoes have been boiled.
To cure wasp stings apply dry washing blue; or better rub with raw onion.
To cure a wasp sting in the throat the best thing is to chew a raw onion keeping the pulp to the back of the mouth, and swallowing slowly, this prevents throat from swelling.
To trap wasps; He hath found an old bottle, I cannot say where. He hath bound it with skill, to the back of a chair.
Full of mild ale so balmy and sugar so brown, and he'll trap then by dozens I'll bet you a crown.
