  2. Diseases and Cures - The Whooping Cough

    Share Share Post
    It was locally believed by the people around here that a cure for whooping cough was to tie a caterpillar in a cloth and wrap it round the throat of the person who had the whooping couigh.
    Another cure for that sickness was to boil in water the hair of a person who never saw his father and drink it.
    But such a person is hard to be found and so it is very seldom that this cure was used.
