  1. Cure for Sprain

    Share Share Post
    This cure was told to me by Phill mac Cafferty of Craigs Convoy on the 2nd of November. 37
    With regard to rubing for a sprain there are many ways. This is one way. The person who has this cure is the third son in the family, he rubs the spot where where the sprain is, and then he rubs clay of the ground on the sprain in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost. This will cure the sprain.
