- Toothache
This was cured by getting a frog and putting him in your mouth and allowing him screech three times then take him out and the toothache is supposed to go away. So in this way the old people cured it long ago.Una O'Connell 22.11.1937 - Housemaid's knee
This was cured by applying three poultices of cow manure to the knee affected, in such a manner housemaid's knee was cured in olden days.Kitty Connolly 22.11.1937
