   Holy Ghost. The movement was with the sun and not against it. Another cure was by meeting a man riding a white horse and asking him for a cure. Whatever he said was done as a cure.
   To cure a soar throat they used roasted potatoes in an old sock to roll round the throat. They also used heated bran in an old stocking or sock of your own. For a crick in the neck they used goose grease You had to go on your bare knees before the fire and rub it on. To cure a cramp or pins and needles they rubbed a spit under the knee. This irritation is called locally "Codlagh Grifeen". To cure a toothache they "drew" poppy seeds and used the tea to bathe the jaw over the "steam".
   To cure chilblains - they sliced a potato and shook salt on it. It was left so for a night and the juice was rubbed on the chilblain in the morning.
   Corns were mostly cured by picking them out from the root with a darning needle. They also put an ivy leaf steeped in vinegar on the corn. Another cure was the wet heads of matches placed on the corn.
   A cure for Thrush was to let a gander sneeze down the child's throat three times. Headaches were prevented by washing the hair on Good Friday.
