  1. Bone-Setting

    Share Share Post
    A noted bone-setter named Brian Costello lives between Moate and Moyooughley. He is now about seventy years of age. His, father, grandfather, and great grandfather had all the same gift.
    When anyone breaks a limb he is brought to the bonesetter rather than to a doctor, and he has cured cases where doctors have failed. People come from far and near to him when bones are broken or put out of place.
    He attends bad cases at the sufferer's home and he charges a small fee.
