    Whooping cough.
    If a child is affected with the whooping cough and is put three times under an ass he or she will be cured.
    Horses.
    The old people say that a broom tree is a cure for sick horses. This is the manner in which it is used. Boil it in milk and then give it to the horse and he will be cured.
