   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Another cure believed in around this district is that of the Dirty Mouth. The Dirty Mouth is an inflammation of the inner part of the lip. It is said that a man who never saw his father that is who was born after his father's death has the cure of it. The cure is, he breaths three times on the part affected.
   Similarly a girl who has never seen her father has the cure of it. A woman living about two fields from this school also possesses the cure. The disease is not so common now as it was; perhaps the smoking part of old dirty clay pipes was the cause of it.

Another cure was believed in, is to take the roots of a nettle and boil it
