“Joan Grogan had a knowledge of herbs.”
(continued from previous page)they sent for Joan. Joan told the father of the girl to go to the door that night at nightfall and hold out his his hat outside the door. "There will be herbs put into your hat" she said. "Put these down in a saucepan of water on the fire and give your daughter the juice of the herbs and before one week your daughter will be up and around".
The father did as he was told and at the end of the week his daughter was out of bed and on the road to recovery.
