    The whooping cough can be cured in a of of different ways. When you have a whooping cough and if you met a man riding a white horse, and to ask him for the cure and whatever he tells you to use, you would be cured if you used it. The milk that the ferret leaves after him also cured the whooping too. The first egg that you pulled lays if you take it you shall never take the whooping cough.
