This is an old cure.
- I heard the following cure for whooping cough recently at home. The prescription is: To find a saucer full of weeds, which are in the shape of a chalice. Then boil these weeds in milk and drink the milk. These weeds will cure whooping cough if taken often.
- The following cure is also for a wart.I heard this from my father last winter. You should watch the new moon the first night it appears in the sky.then stay looking at it for five minutes.you then stoop down and the first thing you will find on your boot rub it to the wart.
