  1. (continued from previous page)
    gizzard of a hen on the warts three times, every day, for three days, then to bury it where nothing will ever walk over it, because if anything does, the cure is useless.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. There is a Holy Well in "Cnoc a Tighe". There is one in Conwall and if you are angry and wash your hands in it, the anger will leave you. There is Doon Well and also an old well in Templedouglas, that was closed up. The time it was open there was a public house near, and when the men were coming from the "turas" they would get drunk. So, when the Bishop heard he ordered it to be closed.
