GARLIC IN wHooPING COUGH.
Cures It When Worn in the Shoes, SAYS
London Physician.

The New York Medical journal saws
this of garlic used externally as a
remedy for whooping cough:
IT. Mark Howell of London, at the
repeated request of many friends, com
munieates TO the British Medical Jour
nal Il rural remedy for whooping cough
which appears to be not known gen
orally to the profession. 1t consists Of
peeing the cloves of garlic, as the seq
mcnts OF the bulb are called, cutting
them into thin slices and wearing them
under the solca of the feet between two
pairs of socks, for II placed next the
skin the pressure used by walking is
apt to cause irritation. The garlic can
usually be smelled in the breath within
half an hour after the slices have be
gun to he worn, and the whoop and
spasm usually disappear within forty
eight hours. The garlic should be worn
for week or ten days or longer, ac-
cording to the severity of the case
Among the French Canadian habi-
tants we know that oni are used in
exactly the same way. Garlic may also
be administered by eating it as a form
of bread sauce, made by chopping up
the cloves when peeled, boiling them in
milk, and mixing them with bread
! crumbs.
