    Information collected from:-
    Mr. M Hurley,
    Coolanoran,
    Ardagh.
    The people sought remedies long ago from plants and wells. There is a well called "Keiran", near Reen's Pike, to which the people used go and pay rounds, and they were cured from sore eyes.
    A few snails broken up small. Put on a cloth, and put on the neck or any part of the body where a boil is, would cure it. The arrow-root is good for pains in the bones. The leaf of the foxes-tongue is put to a burn to cure it.
    If a person had a back-ache and whatever cure the seventh daughter would tell him to get and put to his back. He would be cured
