  1. The Prayer

    Share Share Post
    By the fall of Adam our sins first began
    For our sake Christ's blood first ran,
    By those words I do thee charge,
    The blood that ran to run no more at large,
    Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
    A short time ago a man named Walsh stopped a bleeding by reciting these words. This man's father & mother were Walshe's. These cures are handed down from father to son.
    The blood from a black cats tail will cure "Wildfire" (probably St Anthony's Fire
    The cat must be entirely black & must have not even one spot of white.
    Ivy leaves relieve a burn
    Boiled Ivy for pains
    Ground Ivy for pains
    (Ivy that grows along the ground & along the ditches)
