  2. Diseases and Cures - Cough

    Share Share Post
    A cough was cured with an ivy called ground ivy which grew along the ground. It was different from the ivy that grows on the walls. This ivy had a very soft leaf, it grew mostly in mossy places
    A bundle of the ivy was got and the stems picked off, the leaves were washed and put in a saucepan and covered with a quart of water. It was then boiled till there only remained a pint of water.
    It was sweetened with sugar, and a little ginger put into it to flavour it, it was then poured into a bottle
