    to have been on Mount Calvary when our Lord was crucified and that three drops of his blood fell on it. He used to boil the plant and when boiled put it in a bottle. When the people used to come to him he would put this on it but they must believe in him. After that the wound would get better. But Paddy Dooley could not take any money for curing it; If so it would be no use.
