    Cures
    Once upon a time there lived a man who used to be able to take out dirt or anything that would irritate the eyes.
    If the person were away in foreign countries and write to him he would be able to take it out.
    He used to get a saucer of water and say some Irish prayer and the dirt could be seen in the water.
    He did not leave the cure to anybody when he was dying. He lived about this place a long time ago.
