- Sprain- There are a lot of people around this country have cures for different diseases. There is a man living in Corrowallen. His name is Mr Bradley he has the cure of the sprain if you do not believe in the cure you need not be going for it. His father had the cure before him and when he was dying he gave it to him no one must know the cure only the man that has it or if he tells it the cure is no good. I got the cure of the sprain made once for my foot and before he made it the first thing he asked me was do you believe in this cure "and i said yes" it is by a prayer he made the cure.
- Burn- I know another person has a cure for the burn her name is Mrs Mc Neill she lives in Aughavas she makes it out of unsalted butter and a leaf which is called the Burn leaf and something else you have to go for it and out it on the burn till it is better. She got the cure from her mother. It leaves the flesh so that the burn wont leave a mark after it.
