A cure for a strain.
Willie Mc Weeney
Annaghkinty has a cure for a stain which is in his family for years. He makes this cure on Mondays and Thursdays. He gets flax- yarn and says mental prayers over it. Then he ties it on the strain, and when the yarn falls off the strain will be cured. If he told anyone the prayers he says the cure would not take effect any more.
