Our first New England settlers were plagued with almost every sickness and disease imaginable. The female homesteader was chief cook and bottle-washer, and usually the only doctor-nurse available. Her home remedies were based on Indian cure-alls or old world traditions, many of them steeped in superstition and ancient customs. It was a brutal land they lived in, where devastating plagues wiped out half of the Indians – for those remaining, sickness often racked their bodies and unfounded fears taunted their minds.
