- (continued from previous page)cold. It is a very old cure the old people had long ago.Told by Mrs Forde, Killeeneen, Craughwell, age: 47 years
- When a person has a sore back and when he is not able to work, it can be cured by going to Killmacdugh three miles west of Gort. When a person goes he should lie on a bed where a saint is buried and to roll himself seven times on the bed and it will get cured. The person will not get the pain ever again. There are seven old ruins of Churches and an old tour. The old tour is standing yet but the Churches are gone.
