  2. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    The children used to go to the bog specially to wash their feet with the bog water. The old people thought that this water would make the feed clean and strong. There was an old beggerman named Michael Fleming who never wore a shoe winter or Summer. If a person's legs were stiff they are advised to rub goose grease of on them.
