- In olden days the people used have cures of their own. The cure they had for the whooping cough was to bring milk to a ferret and to carry his leavings to the child. The cure for craos galar is to have a child that never saw his father blow its breath three times fasting into the child's mouth. The cure for wild fire is to write your name three times around it with ink. The cure for a sore throat is to put a boiled potato up to it.
