- The cure for the mumps given by Mrs Egleston, nee Malone, is a queer one. Walking round a pig-sty three times you had to say the following rhyme: "Mucna, mucna, sine go na leicne. Laith se an na muicne." Since then the rhyme was changed to three Hail Marys. I am not sure of the correct spelling but it was like that, the rhyme sounded. A pot hanger was hung round the neck whilst this was being performed.
