Some of the remedies used by our ! ancestors ought to have been sufficient I to scare away any disease without i their application. Here are a few of them: "A halter wherewith any one I lias lieen hanged if tied about the head will cure headache. Moss growing upon a human skull if dried and powdered and taken as snuff is no less effi j cacious.” Dr. Samuel Turner, who ! wrote on diseases of the skin, notices a prevalent charm among old women for the shingles, the blood of a black cat taken from its tail and smeared on the part affected. The chips of a gallows tiesl on a string and worn around the I neck are said to have cured ague. Spiders, as may readily be supposed, were iu great repute as remedies. Burj ton, tlie writer of the "Anatomy of ' Melancholy,” was at first dubious as to tlie efficacy of tlie spider as a remedy, though he states that be had seen it used by his mother, “whom he knew to have excellent skill in cbirurgery. sore ’ eyes and aches, till at length,” says he. I ‘'rambling amongst authors, as I often do, I found this very medicine in DiosI corides, approved bv Matthiolas and repeated by Aldrovandus I began then to have a better opinion of it.” For stopping hemorrhages all sorts of things were used. John Bell says that for this purpose "they tied live toads behind the ears or under the armpits or to the soli's of the feet or held them in the hnnd till they grew warm. Michael Mercatus says that this effect of toads is a truth, which any person willing to take the trouble may satisfy himself of by a very simple experiment. for If you hang the toad around a cock's neck for n day or so you may then cut off his head and the neck will not bleed a single drop.” The umlude iraaglnaire of those days pursued bls hobby under difficulties.
