    get a snail and put it on the wart then leave the snail on a bush and then the snail will go away as well as the wart.
    The milk of dandeline is another cure.
    If you get a sting of a nettle rub a dock leaf on it.
    If you get a sting of a wasp or a bee rub blue on it.
    If you get a burn you rub salt on it. If we get a sore throat we drink water and salt.

    In Rathcoole there is a field and in this field a windmill. Long ago the top was blown off. Beside this is buried a king who was killed during the greatwar. In side the windmill there is a stair and from the top Howth can be seen.
