    from it Convenient to my district in Battlefield there are three wells & three piles of stone. There is one stone & it is full of water all through the year. Not later than last year there were people cured from rheumatism. There are other cures the seventh son or daughter has the cure of the ringworm. On a hill not far from here there is an herb growing & it is the cure for Bronchial catarrh and it is only a man named Hannon can get it & you must get it without asking for it Pat Kielty has the cure of the headfever.
