  1. A Prayer for Stopping Blood

    Share Share Post
    In the stable of Bethlehem our Lord was born,
    In the river Jordan he was baptised,
    The water was pure and the water was good,
    When Jesus came there the water stood.
    In the name of Jesus I stop the blood.
    Mary Maloney, Kincon, Killala, Mayo. Got from James Ward, Moneygall, Coughjordan, Co Tipperary.

  2. Cure for Warts

    Share Share Post
    Cure for warts.
    steal a bit if meat or grease from a neighbours house. Rub it to the warts. Bury the piece of meat or grease which has been rubbed on the wart under a seraw or in the manure heap. When the week has rounded the wart will have disappeared.
    Another cure for warts is to cut the warts and put some of the gerud off the wart on a bit of paper.
