  1. Story Refernced to Local Cures 14

    Share Share Post
    I know a girl that this cure was tried on (bone from Churchyard) at 12 oclock that night she wakened up and called her mother.
    "Mother" said she "look at all the candles on the dresser.
    The following night at twelve oclock the same thing happened. She "wretched" on each night.
    The following morning the mother ordered the remains of the bone to be taken back to the graveyard. The girl saw the lights no more. She was cured of the jaundice
    Bridie Costelloe Turbird was girl's name she went to America. She's still alive I met her about 2 years ago
