    to put the person under and over a mare-ass three times while she is eating either bread or oaten meal and get the person to eat the bits that she lets fall. Another cure for the whooping-cough is to get a bit of wheaten bread made by a woman that does not change her name when she gets married.

    Noggins
    There were noggins used for drinking milk out of an eating stir-a-bout out of. There were also wooden plates called "trenchers". There were also milking-pails with one handle on one side and these were carried about, on top of the head. A roller was placed on the head under, and was made of cotton.
