  1. Ailments and Cures - Burns

    Share Share Post
    The cure for a burn is to get some lard and herbs and mix the two of them together. Then boil them. Take it up and let it cool. When it is cool it will be the colour of dripping. Rub some of it on the burn, and do this until the burn gets all right. The woman that has this cure is Mrs Callaghan from Kilboggan Nurney
