  1. Old Cures

    Share Share Post
    It was an old custom to relieve a child from whooping cough, to have the parents stand at each side of a female donkey and to hand the child to one another under and over the animal for so many times.
    Another old cure for a Lough Lein is to burn the root of some herb in a stall, and then place it on the Lough Lein. The Lough Lein is a lump that comes on the tigh or under the arm.
