    Cure For the Wart
    The cure of the wart is done in this way. First you go to a stone that water has been lodged in. Then you bring the person whom your are going to make the cure for, to the stone. Next you dip your finger in the water three times saying each time. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen. In honour of the Saint that cures the wart, may he cure the person that the cure is going to be made for. This was got from Pat Durkin age 80 years
