Both my husband and my friend's daughter a) loved the taste of the recipe and b) had excellent and fast results from it.
My friend actually wrote me the morning after her daughter's first dose; it had been the first night in 3 weeks that both she and her daughter slept through the night due to a complete cessation of coughing. She was absolutely thrilled and continued to give it to her daughter in the days to follow with great results.
Excellent and highly recommended remedy!

Onions and garlic, sliced, of each, 1 gill (¼ pint); sweet oil, 1 gill (¼ pint); stew them in the oil, in a covered dish, to obtain the juices; then strain and add honey, 1 gill (¼ pint); bottle and cork tight for use.
Dose – For a child of 2 or 3 years, 1 teaspoon 3 or 4 times daily, or whenever the cough is troublesome, increasing or lessening, according to age.
This is a granny's prescription, but I care not from what source I derive information, if it gives the satisfaction that this has done, upon experiment. This lady has raised a large family of her own children, and grandchildren in abundance. We have tried it with three of our children also, and prescribed it in many other cases with satisfaction, for over seven years. It is excellent also in common colds attended with much cough. This is from experience, too, whom I have found a very competent teacher. It is said that an European physician has discovered that the dangerous symptoms of whooping cough are due to suppressed cutaneous eruptions, and that an external irritant or artificial rash, is a sure remedy.
