   To cure the whooping cough in children, get a mare ass and put the child affected, under the asses belly three times every morning for nine mornings. (Tim Hederman and Tiob. Ár.) Note. I believe that a certain method of procedure was to be observed in the ritual of this cure such as putting the child in at the left side of the ass and bringing him round from the right to the left behind the ass, but lest I be unorthodox I only venture the statement as a more than hazily remembered item from my childhood.

The ridiculousness and repulsiveness of this cure are more than offset by its efficacy, and the secrecy which the man with the "cure" observes in its preparation, is more to prevent a sense of disgust in the patient and the patient's immediate relatives, than from any intention of setting a spurious value on the cure, by mystification.
