- A preventative of whooping cough(known locally as the chin cough). Give a child milk to drink which a ferret has tasted and has drunk part of.
Tried and proved. Two children once drank milk from which a ferret had supped and did not catch this disease even after sleeping with a patient who was suffering from it, the other child did not drink the milk and developed it.
