    morning the horse was completely cured.
    In a certain garden in Creeve there grows an herb called "Varevine". It is supposed to cure any external disease on either man or beast. This herb is supposed to have first grown on some place in Galilee on which Our Lord walked.
    There is a man now living in Carrickatee who can cure any person of the jaundice. He plucks some herb out of the grass and boils it. Three bottles of this liquid cures the jaundice completely. This cure was known to succeed when many doctors failed.
