    Old Cures
    It is supposed that there is a cure in Philipstown graveyard. There is an old wooden skull and it is always full of water and it is supposed that there is a cure of the chin-cough in it. The old cure for the mumps is to go into an ass's stable and put on a pair of ass's winkers and go under an ass and the mumps will go away.
    There is a holy well in Louth Hall and there is a cure for ore eyes in it.
