- Long ago the people had many cures for diaseses They used dockroot for a nettle sting whooping cough was cured by crawling under a donkey the juice of the ragwort cured warts. There is a well in Annaghmor in Mr. Lehanes bog and it is a cure for rheumatism If a person got measles they used the milk that ferrets let behind them. Honey was a cure for sore eyes. The bark of an elm was a cure for burns. At Goggins Hill there is a well which is a cure for warts.
