    If two persons get married of the one name they have a cure fo the whooping cough.
    There are herbs that we use for curing such as dandelion is a cure for consumption. Leeks is a cure for sore eyes. At Faughart near Dundalk is St Brigids stream and there we have a cure of headache, sore eyes. In a stone there is a little hole where St Brigid is supposed to have lost her eye and there we have the cure for sore eyes.
    At Louth there is a stream called Friars Stream and there is a cure for a headache in it.
