“Once upon a time James Doherty hand his hands all covered with warts.”
(continued from previous page)since.
When two the name of Doherty get married the first year they are married if the woman makes porridge and gives it to you it will cure you of the mumps.
But the woman must give it her own accord if she does not it is no good.
- If you go out on a night of a new moon with your eyes closed and on your knees and grab as far as far as you can reach and whatever you catch rub it on the warts and the throw it over your shoulder and the warts will go away.
