    Share Share Post
    Some time ago a man named John Brennan had a cancer on his on his ear. He was in great pain, and he ded not know what to do. At last he was told of a woman named Mrs Bradley of Ballasalla who could cure it. He went to her, and she put a plaster on it, and it cured him. Then he was very glad because he was cured.
