  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    The Brennans of Flagmount are supposed to be able to cure St. Anthony's Fire, & Mrs Quinlan is able to cure it also.
    Mrs Bradley Culcublain [?] is able to cure cancer.
    Anybody who's mother & father are same name can cure St. Anthonys Fire. John Brennan Flagmount is a postumous child because his father was dead before he was born. If a person let a frog crawl on their tongue they would never have a toothache.
