- Local Cures
(Told by Mrs Parle Poulpeasty Taghmon Co. Wexford).There are a lot of people who can cure alot of diseases.
Here are some of them. They used to cure warts with a potatoe.
They used to cut the potatoe in the middle and rub it on the wart and the side you would rub the wart with they would bury it and if it grew the wart would grow and if it died the wart would die. There is a blest well in Brown’s Castle and if you drank the water out of it it would cure the toothache.
(Written by Mollie Parle Poulpeasty Taghmon Co.Wexford)
