    Cures. continued
    If you kill a fox you should take out his tongue and preserve it and if ever you get a thorn in our hand or foot put it on to it and it will draw it out.
    A man named Glancy in Ballinacarrow has the cure of this disease.
    Anyone born after their father dies has the cure of foul mouth.
    An ivy leaf or a house leek is good for corns.
    If you palate goes down and your tongue sticks to the roof od your mouth a man named Gallagher between Collaney and Collooney has the cure of it.
