Jelly made of elderberries is good for croup. Keep a child from wetting in bed by heating a brick and letting him wet on it. Let a child drink tea made of mullein leaves for croup. Let a child wear a piece of calfskin or leather around its neck and it will never have croup. Let a person who wets in bed urinate into an open grave and this will cure him.
Male babies wet more than female babies.
Melt yellow vaseline and administer to children for croup. Milkweed juice will cure a ringworm. Moisten the index finger in the mouth, rub it over the bottom of a sooty pot, and then make a cross on your ringworm to kill it. Never kiss an infant on the mouth, or you will give it colic. Never let a teakettle boil in the same room with a baby or it will give colic to the child.
