  1. Colio was the general ailment and a person would be almost dead before the doctor was sent for. A heated cover covered with flannel was put on the patient's stomach for a cure.
    A drop of poteen was often given - like burnt whiskey.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. Poteen was made largely. It used be sold in the towns and fetched a great price.
    Soldiers who were stationed in Mitchelstown and Clogheen used be raiding localities for stills.
