    A man with a white horse has a cure for the whooping cough.
    A piece of loaf boiled in milk after a ferret having eating some of it, is also a cure for the whooping cough. A child with deaf ears can be cured by a person who never saw his father. If he just blew into the deaf person's ear he would be cured.
    A man in the parish of Milltown was cured of cancer with a plaster of herbs.
    Soup of the hedgehog is good for the whooping cough.
