    (continued from previous page)
    about a half an hour. When this old woman was going home she told the people she would have to come again for five weeks. She said the second time she would come she would have to tie a bandage on his head and to measure his head also to see would it be the same lenght from the back of his head to his forehead. The old man got better after the five weeks he was always improving. I heard this story from Tom McGuire Lanmore Liscarney P. Office, Westport.
