    are many cures for different ailments. Children's fever is cured by people who pull a weed and they can know whether the Children have the fever or not.
    There is a holy well in Killgorey where some people are cured. If you had sore eyes or sore ears or a sore throat and if you bathe them in the well your ailment will be cured. It is the custom to leave a piece of ribbon on the tree near the well.
