Perhaps I will have to just have to have an adventurous spirit and ask a
swollen mother to help me, by using it on just one breast, and then
observe carefully what happens to both breasts. 

Oh Jean, please do.  We had someone in our last cram course in San Francisco 
that told us she had seen an even older reference (the oldest one we have is 
1892 -- The Glory of Woman) -- to use cabbage on the pustules in Bubonic 
Plague!  

I have a lovely picture of Timothy with the cabbage around his jaw after all 
four wisdom teeth were taken out -- had only a teeny bit of swelling on one 
side of his jaw.
