(Tho. Donnelly P. 21)
"Mrs Conden Miervaud, Clonmore now aged 80 has a tree called Barbary tree. She takes some of the bark of this tree + gives it to the person + tells him how to prepare it. Put in a saucepan with water + stew it well. Then strain it into a jug: put some of it in new milk + drink it.
When using it nothing with salt in it can be taken"
