    There was a blacksmith in Clondulane named Paddy Carey and every night the local men used gather at the forge. One night a man came in with a tooth which was paining him. The blacksmith tied a piece of cord to the tooth and then tied the other end to the anvil. He put an iron into the fire until it was red. He then went over to the man and all of a sudden he made a drive at him with the red iron. The man ducked back and the tooth came out.
