  1. William Mc. Partlin, Kiltyfenaghty can cure a mote in eye. He gets a saucer of clear water and says some prayers after which, when finished, the mote appears in the water and is gone out of the person's eye.
    James Ruttledge, Coolagraine, has the cure of the sprain. He attends the patient on three different days. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. He says prayers and rubs the part affected with his hands and ties a cord on it.
