- (continued from previous page)if you went out three times under the abdomen of a young donkey that was never ridden. Donkey's milk is often given as a cure for the whooping cough. The best cure is if you get a fish and let three drops out of the fishe's mouth into the mouth of the patient (and) then the whooping cough will disappear immediately
