  1. Local Cures (Cont'd)
    Cure for Headach or a pain in the stomach.
    there was a well in Mr. Pat O'Malley's field in Towerhill called Saint Brigid's well. One morning a woman who was milking cows washed her hands in it and the well removed itself and is now under John Devane's house in Towerhill. If you had a headach or a pain in your stomach and if you took a sup of its water, before sunrise your pain is gone.
