    To cure the same disease people used let their children crawl between a donkey's legs saying, "In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." A cure for the stomach was to boil an onion and drink the water as hot as the person could drink it.

    Boiled Marchmallow, was used in former times to cure a lump or a boil on the skin. You should boil the flower and make it like jelly.
