- My father Patrick Keaveny, Corratimore, Dromaha 49 years of age told me there is a cure for the strain. Mrs. Kate Scanlon, Lisgaureen, Drumheering, 47 years of age has the cure of the strain. the person who goes for the cure has to bring a woollen thread with him. The person who gets the cure must not go into any house on his way home until he reaches his own house. The person who wants the cure has to get the thread tied where it is strained and has not to take it off until it falls of[f] itself. When the thread falls off the strain is better.
