“Two people who marry and have the same name can cure the chin-cough.”
23 January, 1935Two people who marry and have the same name can cure the chin-cough. A sister of Christy Mac Loughlin's is married to a MacLoughlin. (Christy now lives at Dowdstown Back gates - Far East Fathers'). A cake the sister would bake herself would cure it. She would just give you a bit of the cake and that would cure you of the cough. The cake might be fresh or stale, once it was baked by the woman who bore the same name when single as when married, it was sufficient to cure the chin-cough.
Mrs Tully of Loughor, has this cure too.Written by
