An old West-Indian trick for Hiccups

When a baby has hiccups the best way to get rid of them is to take a peice of string (from baby's clothes works best) and wet the string with your saliva, then circle it around your fore-finger (index/ pointer finger). Rub your thumb and fore-finger together and take it off of your finger. It should be the shape of a "O". Place the wet "O" string on the baby's forehead. The hiccups disappear like MAGIC!
