Yates, Pearle Justice

Abstract:

Yates provides a list of some of the home remedies which are still being used religiously by hundreds of people in various parts of North Carolina, and other states as well. Some of these remedies include: mare's milk for whooping cough, wear a dime around the neck to prevent painful teething, and Indian flints are good for persons suffering from kidney trouble provided they are boiled in water and the water is drunk regularly.
