When the children have sore throat,
don't blister their necks with lamp oil.
Don't torture them with a foul smelling
piece of fat meat. wrapped about the neck
Don't imagine there is medical virtue in

believe in Anticipated superstitions.
A sore throat is a serious matter and is
not to be healed by such make-believe rem
