  1. The Cure of the Jaundice

    Share Share Post
    A man named John Curneen who lives presently in the townland of Edenreva Parish of Ahamlish, Barony of Carbury, Co Sligo, has the cure of the "Jaundice".
    In making the cure, he first of all gets herbs in his field. Then he boils them. When they are boiled he takes them out and pours the juice into a bottle.
    He shakes the bottle, says some prayers and gives the juice to the person suffering from jaundice.
