- (continued from previous page)cures ringworm. She lived in Meenbogue until 1937. Her father left the cure to her. The cure can be given (or left) to a man by a woman, or a man can will it to a woman.
Cecily goes to the graveyard at twilight and pulls certain herbs. She likes to do this secretly as the cure will not work of anybody sees her in the graveyard.
She cuts up the herbs and mixes them with fresh unsalted butter. She then gives it to the person who has the ringworm. This is rubbed on the ringworm and in about a week it will be quite well.- Collector
