Prevention includes fall dung liming and topical treatments such as fish oil with pine tar and sulfur tobacco dust unbroken skin and mixtures of tallow with carbolic acid.

Long Life and the Heat of a Severe Time

A fragmented older text discusses health, remedies, and medical authorities, mentioning a Health-keeper and a range of "new style" tinctures and vinegars.
