- Local CuresLong ago, people were not cured by medical aid, but they firmly believed that God put cures in the world for certain diseases. Thrush was cured, by rubbing a piece of goose or gander flesh to the mouth; food left by a ferret cured sore throat, and sore tonsils. The seventh son was looked upon as having cures for other diseases, and was called the Doctor, and the seventh daughter was said to be a fool..Mr. W. O'Keefe, The Square, Tallow.
