    An old lady named Mrs Palmer now living at Mr Godfrey's, the Canteen, Bonane who is the author of many old stories here and who is between eighty and ninety years is a living store of folk lore especially piseóga. She happened to be suffering from diarrhaoea in a friend's house here in Deirinid my townland and when boiled milk was being given to her as a cure she asked for a beaten up egg in it but says she if you don't beat the egg the wrong way + the milk too when it is being got ready there is no cure at all in it. I am sorry she has left here for I could have filled my book long since if she had stayed.
