    Kilcumney has the cure for ringworm. He puts his hand on the ringworm and in a few days it disappears. Some people make ointment from buttercups. They are fried in lard and it is a cure for ringworm. Laurel leaves fried in mutton fat is a cure for a burn. It is rubbed on the burn and in a few days the burn disappears.
