    in one family has a cure for the ring-worm. When he is born they put a worm in his hand and leave the worm there until he dies "Is there any man like that in this district?" I asked. He said that Peter Rowland of Derryhilly can do that cure. "Have you even seen that cure to fail?" I asked. He said he never saw it fail.
