    Whooping Cough.
    1. Get garlic and boil it, then mix the liquid in which it was boiled with whiskey and give it to the child to drink.
    Peggy Halpin 16-11-1937
    2. Another cure for whooping cough was to allow the child walk under a white horse, then ask the owner of the horse a cure for whooping cough and whatever he will say it is supposed to cure the child.
    Peggy Halpin 16-11-1937
