This chapter considers one of the most common symptoms of many diseases and illnesses - fever - and the measures used to counter it. At the same time, the data collected in the surveyed locations regarding other types of fever other than an ordinary temperature and the remedies used are set out. The methods used to cause sweating, considered to be so important in folklore, are also described. There is also a section on the methods, procedures and articles used to apply poultices and rubs, and the most common illnesses for which they were used.
