1. If you were cut and let a dog lick the wound it would cure it.
2. If a cockroach stung you and if you could catch the cockroach and burn him and rub the dust on the sting it would cure it.
3. If you made a belt out of the skin of an eel it would cure a sore wrist.
4. There is a man living in Boyounagh and he has a cure for ring worm.
5. There is a well in Boyounagh grave yard for curing warts.
6. There is a well in Lemletogher called St. Patricks well and if you had Scarlatina and go to that well three Sundays in succession you would be cured.
