  1. Cures

    Share Share Post
    In our house in Roundwood which is owned by Major Hamilton there lived a family the name of Collins.
    They made an ointment which cured scurvy and in fact which was good for all kinds of cuts and burns.
    They kept it a secret.
    They are now lliving in Dublin and aree said to be still making this ointment. Our house was an RIC Barracks years ago.
