    When I had the whooping cough my Grannie got a female donkey and put me under and over the donkey three times, and she gave the donkey bread to eat and what dropped from the donkeys mouth she boiled in new milk and I had to eat it and it cured me.
    Cure for a wart
    Go to a tree that’s after being cut and bring a pin with you and if there is a hole in the tree with water in it dip the top of the pin in the water and touch the wart and throw the pin back in the water and when the pin gets rusty the wart will die.
