    Interic Fever.
    For the cure of Interic fever roots of briers are boiled in sweet milk and the milk is drunk by the suffering person.
    The Sprain.
    Patrick Reynolds, Cormorgan, Drumshanbo, has the cure of the sprain. A piece of cord is tied round the affected leg or arm "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." The cord is left on the leg for three days and by the end of this time the sprain is supposed to be cured.
