    A cure for the chin-cough is to drink asse’s milk. A cure for warts is to rub a piece of fat to them, and hide it in the thatch until it rots, as it rots the warts will disappear. Another cure for warts is to toss two half-pennies at a cross-road and leave them there, and whoever picks up will take the warts.

    A man and woman whose names would be McMahon before they would get married their eldest child can cure St. Anthony’s fire. A cure for warts is a fasting spit for three mornings. Another cure for warts is to count all the warts and to get a small stone for every wart and to put them a small bag and leave them at a cross-road, and whoever picks up the bag of stones will get the warts.

    Collected by:- Máire Ní Dhiolúin, Crossard.
