- I knew a woman who cut sticks in a fort that was opposite to her own door. Some time after she had the sticks cut she fell sick with a sore throat and she was twelve days in bed with it.
- Ould Upton used to stand at his hall door and he used to blow a horn and it used to be heard in Cnoc a Doire which is four miles away. All that tribe are gone now.
- There was a man from Glin who used to cure yellow jaundice by a charm. I used to hear my father say that a herb grew between the borders of Kerry and Limerick and that if it could be found that it would also cure it.
