  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    My grandfather told me that he knew a person in my district who could cure sprains. He lives about a half a mile from my house. This man's name is Paddy Mc Glinchy. This man rubs clay on your arm, or leg or wherever you have the sprain. He got this cure from a relation who left it to him.
