Old days health care program

Let's continue on with some more of the old days remedy's----hey I'm trying to save you some money here!!! I have decided one thing for sure, had I been subjected to most of these treatments--NO ONE would have EVER known if I was ailing in any way!!
CUTS-- Let your BEST dog lick any cut that you may have. This is a quick and sure cure for the cut...
COLDS----Starve a cold and stuff a fever--Cross a creek backwards..(I bet crossing the creek did the trick!)
HEADACHES---10 sniffs from a pair of dirty socks should do it...(I think that I
had much rather cross the creek).
CHICKEN POX--- This is a good one y'all .... For the chicken pox--undress your child and roll him under the chicken roost...This is suppose to stop the itching...
Doesn't it seem to you like the chickens played a huge roll in the old days such as eating the wart seed,providing the "droppings" beneath the roost, providing the feathers for pillows and feather beds, not to mention the eggs for cooking and of course the unfortunate chicken that had it's head rung off and than was fried southern style!!
The last treatment is for:
If your eyes feel tired or sore, lay down and close your eyes and rub Vick's on the eye lids..Keep them closed until the BURNING ends....
Just so you know---I MIGHT would have let the best dog lick my cut ---and I could starve my cold and crossed the creek backwards but no way and no how would I have smelled the dirty sock nor would I have rolled my child in the chicken Poop and I can promise you that my eyes could NEVER have gotten tired enough or sore enough for me to burn the heck out of them with Vick's!!!
Treatment's were crude and some didn't make a lick of sense but it was all they had and it was what our ancestor's were raised with....
