    (continued from previous page)
    name was Mrs. Dignam of Esker. She had a cure for a hiccough it was two worms she placed in the patient's hands. The hands are closed tightly and after praying for some minutes the hands are opened. If one of the worms is dead you would be cured. The way you would repay her was to bring her a sod of turf you would never give her money.
