  1. A Cure for Mumps

    Share Share Post
    A donkey’s halter should be put on the person who has the mumps. Then he should be driven to the river and back seven times. Each time the person must take a drink of water which he has to keep in his mouth until he returns. Then he foes over on his head three times, spits out the water & pulls three hairs out of his head.
