- The cure is to get a Hairy Jinny and put it in a piece of red flannel and put it in alive. You have to keep wearing it inside your clothes and the Whooping Cough will go away.

“There is a blessed well in Kildare and it is called Father Moore's Well.”
There is a blessed well in Kildare and it is called Father Moore's Well. It has cured a good many people. You have to pay three visits and the third visit you have to leave a beads or prayer-book or something at the well. The stations of the cross are made at each visit. It will cure anything if you believe in it.
