Colic(underlined)
Used to [?] chamomile [?] brewed up in
a tea for newborn babies who had
a colic. Sometimes gave it to them
because it was good. Sweetened
with sugar.
Sometimes added saraway seeds, too,
because that was good for pain.
They loved it, because it was sweet.
The grown ups didn't take any.

(This next paragraph is crossed out)
Remember when there was a girl she
went to the house of George Matwak's mother,
the mother [?]

Summers
Her mother-in-law had a pow wow [?] in
to deal with Joseph's father. But
she didn't believe in him. The
pow wower asked for a drink before
he started. The treatment included
breathing on the man, who was
almosst paralyzed. It didn't help
and she didn't believe in the
pow wower. It seems the man had
(crossed out word) a stroke or several strokes.
[Joseph was [?] husband.] Her father-in-
law was [?] that way for a long time.

Folk remedy (arrow pointing up and down)
Castoria was given to the
kids when they had colds, this was to keep them regular. ["Keep" the bowels open] You'd
give them warm milk + keep them
in bed. 1 teaspoon was the dose a
(day, crossed out), as needed; they used to like it beuase it was sweet.
