I found the simplest remedy for stopping hiccoughs. I found it on page 177, bottom right, at the following link (which is page 19 if you look at the PDF page)
THE REMEDY CAME FROM DR. KELLOGG WHEN HE WAS IN GOOD STANDING WITH THE CHURCH
Question: Why do people hiccough after eating?
Answer: Hiccough is due to irritation of the center of the stomach, causing sudden contraction of the diaphragm; it is periodical, like breathing, coming just so many times a minute.
Treatment:
Next time you have the hiccough, notice the second hand of your watch at the first hiccough, and count the seconds to the next. Now if you can break that rhythm, you can relieve the hiccough. For instance, if your watch shows that the hiccough comes every fifteen seconds, wait until ten seconds have passed, and then take a deep breath, and hold it. That presses the diaphragm down as far as it can go; so there can be no hiccough; for when one hiccoughs, there is a pulling down of the diaphragm. In this manner, then, if you breathe as deeply as you can and hold your breath as long as you can at each interval, after a time the rhythm may be broken entirely.
