  1. The Cure of the Mumps

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Glenboy a man named Dan Mc Morrow who had the cure of the mumps. The way he makes the cure is he puts a halter on the person and leads them to a well and gives them three sips of water and while doing that he says some prayers.
