- Long ago there were many old customs about cures such as that the seventh son or daughter in the family had a cure.
Some people say they had great cures made out of some parts of frogs, and many people got cured from paying rounds at a blessed well. Some people gets cured from going doing stations of the cross at the chapel.
More cures are caused by a liver knocked out of a dog fish or seal. They get some kind of oil which is good for pain in the back.
