  2. Whooping Cough

    Share Share Post
    Some people have great cures for little children which have the whooping cough. They put oaten meal in the child's bib and let a jack-ass eat the oaten meal out of its bib. When that is done the person has to put the child under the asses body going between his legs and over his back three times. Then in a few days the child is better.
