A Cure for Cancer
About seventy years ago a man named Mr Byrne lived on Tubbermore Avenue. He made a cure for cancer and cured an other man named Mr Dunne. Mr Dunne had cancer under his lip. He told the man about it and the man told Mr Dunne to call at his house. The man called at Mr Byrnes and and he put a kind of ointment under Mr Dunnes lip on a cloth. The next morning he took it off. All the cancer was gone. The man kept this cure a secret and when he died it was still unsolved.
