Digest of the World’s Simple Remedies in Vermont "VE heard that whilst the war was on, And lots and lots of doctors gone, That folks went back to former days For therapeutic means and ways. ‘The simple remedies once more Came forth to heal the sick and sore; The Scriptures say, “The herb was made For man,” and longs to lend him aid. A-thinking back a bit I see xactly how it used to be; A little cubbord, by itself Or corner of a pantry shelf, Was set aside as sacred space things to cure each kind of case; The camphor bottle led the throng. With paregoric going strong A boy back then that had a cold Did pretty near as he was told; He soaked his feet and went to bed, Or took some caniomile instead And when he coughed that croupy cough, Enough to shake his car-muffs off, Some hens’ oil, with molasses mixed, That falsus membrane quickly fixed.
