riontelWhat do you know, the cure for hiccups hasn't much changed since the time of ancient Greeks:
"... let me recommend you to hold your breath, and if after you have done so for some time the hiccough is no better, then gargle with a little water; and if it still continues, tickle your nose with something and sneeze; and if you sneeze once or twice, even the most violent hiccough is sure to go."
- as recommended by Eryximachus the physician in Plato's Symposium
