If you attempt to bring out measles and start by using hot drinks, they must be continued. Kill a caterpillar and you will catch fever before the summer is gone. Kill two chickens and put each of your feet in a chicken while it is still warm and all the typhoid fever will be drawn into the chickens. Measles may be cured by drinking a tea made from the white part of chicken dung. Measles will kill you, if they do not break out.
Peppermint tea is an excellent remedy for fever and chills.
Seeing a caterpillar will give you ague unless you spit. Sliced onions placed in the room of a typhoid fever patient will suck up the poisonous odors and the onions will turn black. Sweeten a strong mullein tea and take for fever. Take saffron tea to bring out measles. Take tea made from the bark of a horse-chestnut tree and it will cure malaria.
