    The people had no cure for fever or small-pox.
    Headache - they used to put vinegar to their heads.
    Toothache - they would put red pepper into the tooth if there was a hole in it. Earache - they used bathe their ears in a jug of hot water and put hot olive oil into it.
    A lump in the inside of their necks - they used put a poultice of boiled turnip to it.
