- (continued from previous page)When the fairy began to dance,
Like a lady out of France.8. On the top of the tree doth sit,
A little soldier in red,
With a stone in his stomach pit
And a helmet on his head.
( A sceachóirí or haw)9. Four stick standers (legs)
Four lilly-landers, (teats)
Two lookers (eyes)
Two crookers (horns)
And one whip-about (tail)
(A Cow).
- Herbs etc as cures (See p. 26 NETTLES)Nettle Water:-is a cure for worms. This was found out by a Dr. Croub, dispensary doctor in Innistioge. This Dr. had an only daughter who "pined away and died", and he could not find out what was wrong.When dead she was opened and a long worm (tape - I expect) was found. Dr Croub kept this worm in a jar, and tried everything he could think of to kill it. Nothing did so until he gave it nettle water. This killed it.
