- (continued from previous page)if you have mumps put an asses winkers on your scuff , get somebody to lead you round a well three times and that will cure you.
If you have a pain in your side lift a stone and spit on it , one you leave it in the same place it will go away
- ProverbsAll a chip of the one old block.
No cow no care no arent to the fair.
(sup) Suple mothers leave lazy children.
Speak of the devil and he repeats.
Put a beggar on horse back and he would outride the devil.
Come day go day God send Sunday.
God's leather to God's weather.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Every day brings its own news.
Health to wear and strength to tear that you may not have a stitch for Castleshane fair.
You never miss the water until the well runs dry.(continues on next page)
