- Many people get the whooping cough. People say that if you get the whooping cough to get a hair of a child's head that never saw its father and boil the hair in water and drink the water and it would cure you. Another cure for it is to get a hairy - worm and get a cloth and put the worm into it and tie it around your neck and it would cure you. Another cure is to get ass's milk and boil it and take it three times a day and it would not be long till you would be cured.
