    A herb that cures it. This herb is growing in the lands of Henry Flynn, Gleneaskey, Dromore West, Parish of Kilmasshaglan, Tireragh, Co. Sligo. A blue flower comes out on it in summer and it only then it can be used as a "Cure". It is boiled roots and all. The liquid is bottled. A glassful is taken three times a day. Many people have been cured with it.
