    Where I live a cure given for the whooping cough is to walk under the legs of an ass three times.
    Another cure is to give the milk left by a ferret to a person suffering from the whooping cough.
    A cure for toothaches is obtained by men who promised not to shave on Sundays.
    Women get relief by not going to certain places that they are in the habit of going to.
    An ivy leaf is supposed to cure corns.
