1. A Cure for the Whooping-Cough

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   We are told that seventy or eighty years ago, and perhaps later, when an epidemic of the chin cough, as it was called, occurred in this neighbourhood, it was attempted to effect a cure in the following manner.
   The father or mother of the affected child waited by the roadside for the chance passing of a rider on a grey horse. Should he happen along, the parent stopped him and asked "Man on the grey horse have you any cure for the chin-cough?". Should he pass without answering or give a gruff one, he was understood to refuse his aid; but should he reply "Put your trust in God, and all will be well", a quick passing of the disease was expected.
