    Sore Eyes
    Local cure - bathe them in water from St. Brigids steam three times a day.
    Sty in the Eye
    Get a branch of thorns and for nine nights point a thorn at the sty nine times each night.
    Sore mouths
    The way to cure a sore-mouth is to get a person who never saw his father to breathe into the sick man's mouth, and it will improve.
