in 1727, the first edition of a popular pamphlet called \every man his own doctor\ was published. it was written for people who didnt have the money to pay for professional medical care. this part from \every man his own doctor\ explains how to cure a cough: \cough may be cured in the beginning with riding moderately on horseback every day, and only taking a little ground ivy tea sweetend with syrup of horehound at night when you go to bed. but in case it be violent, it will be proper to bleed eight ounces and be constant in the use of the other remedies.\

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the text and each option:

• Option A: The text doesn't mention garlic and honey tea, so eliminate.
• Option B: The text says "riding moderately on Horseback every Day" as a cure, so this is valid.
• Option C: No mention of holding a puppy, eliminate.
• Option D: No mention of cleaning floor with rattlesnake venom, eliminate.
• Option E: The text says "taking a little Ground Ivy Tea", so drinking tea from ivy plant (ground ivy) is valid.
