James Quinn of Clontumpher has the cure of the Thorn which he makes out of wild herbs. Edward Gormley of Esker has the cure of the Strain. If the person cannot come to him that has the strained limb he makes it on a wool thread and sends it to the person. The cure is a prayer that he says on the thread and he has certain days for making it. George Robinson of Ballinalee has the cure of the burn which he makes out of grease and other things. J.J. Gormley of Lettergunnell has the cure of worms. It is a sealed prayer that you wear in your clothes. Patrick Callaghan of Esker has the cure of the warts.
