- There is well in Dromore and the water from it would cure hooping cough. A black cats blood would cure wildfire. Sulpher and burned straw would cure ringworm. If you had warts and if you rubbed a snail to them and then stuck him on a thorn as he would withering your warts would be going. The flesh of a rat is a cure for yellow jaundice. Garlic boiled in milk is a cure for Rheumatism. If a child had the thrush and if you put a white Gander's beak into his mouth it would cure it. There was a man and his hand was very sore. One Sunday he was at mass and a man asked him what happened to his hand and he told him. The other man told him to boil the rat and put him for a poultice to the cut. He did so and after a few days it was cured. there was a woman out in the mountain and she could cure rickets.
