   When a boil comes in your foot a leaf of cabbage will cure it. Leave the cabbage one night with the boil and in the morning the boil will be nearly gone. The leaf of cabbage will draw all the bad corruption that is in the boil out of it. If you had a sore eye a bit of an onion would cure it. You must put it with your eye a night before the onion will cure it.

   I was at a meeting in Loughrea at which Michael Davitt gave a speach and after the speach a man stood up and said.
   "if ever you are compelled to leave Ireland
   With a harp and a shamrock so true
   You'll think up on brave Michael Davitt
   And the work that John Dillon did do."
