   Many country people have cures for different kinds of diseases. My Granny and Grandfather told me these. They are both over eighty and live in Clonbrin, Abbeyshrule, Co. Longford.
   It is said if you get a black snail and rub it on a wart and then stick the snail on a thorn and let it wither, according as the snail withers the wart will be going away. Get a piece of washing soda and rub it on the wart and it will cure the wart. There is a head-stone in Abbeyshrule grave-yard in Co. Longford that is said to be a Bishop's grave. There is a square hole in the stone, full of water and it is said if you put in two pins and wash the wart with the water the wart will disappear. The juice of a dandleion is also said to cure a wart.
   If you get someone to hand you in and out under an ass three times it is said to cure whooping cough, another cure for whooping cough is to eat whatever food a ferret leaves.
   Get ten gooseberry thorns
