curer
Salt-treating meat worker
A curer is someone who cures things—most often meat, fish, or hides.
The term applies to workers who preserve food through salting, smoking, or drying, or who treat animal skins to make leather.
Less commonly, curer refers to someone who heals or remedies ailments, though this sense is largely archaic.
The curer hung the hams in the smokehouse for several weeks.
