- (continued from previous page)5Local Curesback, and these people lived to be old men and women.
I have not practised this for the past 25 years, for the following reason. I was lobster fishing in Ballycotton about twenty-five years ago, and I met a man named John O'Brien, who warned me never to use this cure again because he told me that as sure as I would, I would one day suffer from a sore myself, which could not be cured. So not for all the gold in the world would I practise this now, and I have made up my mind never again to do it.
I got the fore-going story from:
Richard Cotter,
Hare Island South,
Church Cross,
Skibbereen,
Co. Cork
He will be 73 years in April 1939.
