קידושין ח

A חסיד who caught a bad cold, asked his רבי what to do. “רפאני רבי, וארפא.” The רבי told him: “Drink three glasses of scotch, followed by three glasses of tea with three squirts of lemon in each. Then, go to bed for three days with three pillows and covered with your טלית and three blankets so that you sweat it out and you will be well.” The חסיד did as he was told and several days later thanked the רבי for his advice, saying: “That was a miracle cure. But tell me, the גויים, who of course don’t have a טלית, what do they do?”
