- The following cure is handed in by Nell Moran Drummeen Cloone.
If a man and woman of the same name are married they have the cure of the chincough.
Mrs Mary and Mr John Rogan and Mrs Sarha and Mr Pete Rogan both of Drummen Cloone have this cure. The way they cure a person is to give them their leavings. A bit of bread that they both took a bite out of. - Other cures I heard of for the Chincough are 1. Asses butter i.e butter made from the milk of a mare ass. 2. Ferrits leavings 3.put the infected child backways between the asses front and near legs.
