- There was a man in the Parish of Nicker named O'Brien.
He kept a ferret.
My grand aunt Miss Kate Harty supplied him with milk to feed the Ferret. But one night she was unable to take the milk. She was very ill in bed. She sent a girl with the milk. The ferret did not drink all the milk as usual he left half of it. The man sent back the remainder of it and told the girl to tell my grand aunt to drink the milk. She drank the milk and was as well as ever the following day. This story was told me by my Aunt.
