  1. Cures - Thrush or Sore Mouth

    Share Share Post
    I am a pupil at Crosskeys N.S. Co Cavan. I am now 14 years of age. I have a cure for what is known as the dirty mouth in children. I don't know where I got the cure, but all children treated by me have got cured. I go to the house where the child is and I suddenly blow my breath three times on the child's mouth, saying each time "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen."
