Here is a homeopathic recipe for scarlet fever from Annabella P. Hill’s, Mrs. Hill’s New Cook Book, from 1867.
“As soon as the nature of the disease is ascertained, rub the patient night and morning with fat bacon, rubbing every part of the body but the head slowly and carefully.”
I could write an amusing line here, but I feel you all could probably write something more amusing.
