Colonial Days It was very unfortunate for a child to be born in New England about the middle of the seventeenth century ; very, very unfortunate. But then one should be more careful in the choosing of a birth-place. The winters were cold; the housing facilities were very' poor. If a baby were more than four feet away from the fire-place it would freeze. One of the hardest things for a child to overcome in its fight for life was the baptismal service. After the tot had been carried miles through the snow at zero temperature, brought into an unheated church, and water from an ice-crusted bowl was poured onto its head, it was so benumbed with cold that it could utter no outcry. As a result of such inhuman treatment, death occurred in many cases. It was hard in those days for a child to bear his teething dose of ‘'boiled rabbit brains, honey, and butter. If he were sufficiently strong to endure this, the next obstacle was the rickets. The symptoms of this dreadful disease have never been fully known, but every one knows it is a deadly malady. However, those who died from the disease might be considered fortunate in that they escaped the treatment which was administered according to directions given below, the same being taken from a New England Almanac : Take one peck of garden shell snails, wash them in small beer, then bake them in an oven until they have ceased popping. Then wash away the green slime in small beer and bruise them in a stone jar. Then take a quart of earth worms; salt, slit, and wash away their filth and bruise them in a stone jar, also. Put into a pot two handfulls of angelica, celandine, betany wood of sorrel, two quarts of rosemary flowers, a bear's foot, agrimony, and red dock root. Put over this the worms and the snails. Pour over this four gallons of strong ale and let stand over night. Add in the morning three ounces of beaten cloves and nine pints of water. DRINK two teaspoonfuls of this to four of small beer in the morning and at night. Perhaps the child might be strong enough to overcome this; if so. he then was ready for religion. Our forefathers were very strict on the subject of religious worship. Children were often supposed to make long prayers, even as many as five or six a day. Jonathan Edwards said in his autobiography that he and some of his companions built a small grotto in the woods where they would often go to pray. There were many laws regarding one’s conduct on Sunday. In one place whittling was abolished on the Sabbath. I shall say no more on this subject for fear that I should offend the spirits of our ancestors.
