- Mrs. McEnroe, Kilbeg, Rathmolyon, has this cure. She makes ointment from un-salted butter and some herbs, one of which can only be gathered at twilight and it is not seen by any other person at any other times.
- A man named Lawless, who lives at Culmullen has this cure. Anyone that is injured with a fork or a pointed iron has to bring it to him and he gives an herb called Comfrey Root to heal the wound. This was never known to have failed.
