  2. How Anthony Kearney Got the Thorn Cure

    Share Share Post
    When Anthony was a young lad of about eighteen years he used to be trapping rabbits in Breastagh. One day he caught a fox, brought him home alive and licked his tongue, on the advice of a portsman who happened to be in his house when he returned.
    Anthony is still alive and performs the cure to this day.
