- (continued from previous page)Fadó bhí galar ar mámha duine dár b'ainm seilmide liarach. Rud fada mar neasgóid a bhíodh ann agus bhíodh sé an-thinn. Ní leigheasfadh aon rud é acht seilmide a chur leis ar feadh cúpla uair agus bheadh sé níos feárr, Dá mbeadh faithní ar mearacha dhuine chuimleochadh sé seilmide dár b'ainm Séan bodhar orra agus déarfadh sé "Bodharán, Bodharan leigheas mó mhéar muna leighisfidh crochfaidh mé ar dhealg thú, íosfaidh na h-éanacha thú agus is feárr duit mé a leigheas".Cure for warts, steal a small piece of meat in a neighbour's house and rub it on them. Some people believed long ago when they were going card playing that if they went under a briar with both ends in the ground they would have luck in winning for the night.
