- 328CuresA man by the name of Denis Lancaster cures ruptures
He cures with London Pride.
He first sends the patient to a gardener for thirteen plants of London Pride. He throws away one plant, and mixes the others with a plate of salt. Then he takes off his hat and says a prayer while he rubs with the mixture. He will cure after the third visit.
People come from far and near to Mr. Lancaster to be cured. I have often seen motor cars outside his gate, and I have seen three or four cars outside most Sundays.
I know many people whom he has cured. He cures animals also.Padraig O Muirgheasa (12)
