    There is a cure for ring-worm. There is a woman in Garristown who was a blessed ring. She puts the ring on the ringworm and says some words and it is said to be cured.
    To cure corns is. If you melt a spoonful of washing soda in front of the fire and put it on them they are supposed to be cured.
