   There is a story told that robbers came at one time to rob the temple or monastery in that same place and that they were struck dead into stones. The stones are still to be seen just outside the graveyard wall standing up in the field. (Patrick Hannon of Ballylanders village -about 80 years-old- told me this.) He also gave me the following cure for sore mouth in children - an old man to blow into the child's sore mouth - the old man should be fasting.
   He too said there was a woman called Joan Hanlon in Ballybrien (in the parish of Ballylanders) who could cure lumps or even cancer with plasters made by herself. No doctor could compete with her.
   "Cure for St. Anthony's fire." (Taken down from Pat Hannan Ballylanders). An old man named Mick Cahill lived here - he used to draw his blood by picking his finger and rub the blood to the sore. He also held that he could cure ringworm in the same way.
   A home cure for ringworm which I often saw tried was to put ink to the affected part.
   Another cure for St. Anthony's fire is to write the name of the person affected around the spot on the face.
   Whiskey applied to an open fresh bleeding wound acted like iodine or other disinfectant.
