  1. Cure of the Glosheen

    Share Share Post
    There is a cure in this neighbourhood for the Gloshen. The gloshen is the name given to a very sore foot which cows often take to the hoof. It is made on Mondays and Thursdays you will have to go to the man's house and he will make it before sunset on Monday or Thursday. He only says some prayers these are handed down from father to son or daughter. It is a very sure cure and they never give away the secret.
