  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the Irish people were famous for being able to cure nearly all diseases on man and animal without the doctor or vet. Now-a-days even with a small cut the people go to a doctor.
    The palate of the mouth falling down is a very serious, and it takes the doctor a very long time to cure it. Brian Tully, Mullaghmore, has a hereditary cure by which he cures the patient after three visits to him.
    Hugh ONeill has the cure of the thrush, it is only babies take it. His father died before he was born. Miss Tuite, Croghan, and Miss Brady, Clare, Ballyjamesduff, have it too.
    Jack Elliott, Virginia has the cure of ring worm.
    Two married people of the one name are said to have the cure of whooping cough.
