- People happen with sprains from time to time and like all other home cures the cure for a sprain is handed down from generation to generation.When a person gets a sprain they are brought to the one who has the cure. This person pulls the limb three times and says some words while doing so. Some times this cure has to be done a second time. The persons in this part of the country that have the cure are Hugh Foy, Mrs Mc Quillan, John Mc Kiernan and Miss Lee.
