  1. Chincough - Cures

    Share Share Post
    If a friend of a boy or girl who had chin-cough met a man with a white horse he would say to him "Fear an capall bán cad a leighirfeadh an triuch". Whatever cure the man would give him he would go home and give it to the child that had the chin-cough and it was generally successful.
