    If a person has worms in him, he can get cured by a man named Patrick Tiernan, who lives in Derrynine, Ballyfarnon. He will get a piece of paper and write a prayer on it, and he will give it to the person who has the worms in him. Then the sick man will sew the paper into his coat, which he is wearing. After some time, the man will be cured.
