Cure of the Heart Fever
John Brennan of Shrannagh has the cure of the heart fever.
A cup of oat meal is placed on the heart. Then three little cakes are made of them. The person who has the heart fever eats a bit of each of them and cures the rest.
This cure is done on Mondays and Thursday and is done before sunset- Collector
