- Cures.
The old cure for the Whooping cough was take a child in your arms, Put the child over a mare donkey's back in under the stomach and do that three times in the name of the Father, Son and holy Ghost. Take the child in your arms bring the Child in front of the mare donkey open the childs mouth and let the donkey breathe in to her mouth. The old cure for yellow jaunice is all herbs. There was a man in Newtown, his name was O'Dwyer he was well able to cure it with herbs. He could walk out in the fields and pick them up and bring them in and boil them and give the juice of the herbs to the patient to drink. Before his death he left the cure to his daughter she is living in Newtown still and well able to cure it.
