  1. Cure for the Rose

    Share Share Post
    The rose is a round red lump or swelling.
    A bottle of water, a bit of mud from a lake called Lough [unknown] in Meath cures the Rose.
    A male person has to lift the water for a female, and a female has to lift it for a male.
    The person who lifts the water is not supposed to look back at the lake after lifting the water until the sufferer is cured.
    The invalid must give silver to the person who lifts the water.

  2. Cure of a Pain in the Back

    Share Share Post
    The person who has the pain in his back has to go to some-one who has the cure. He has to lie down on his mouth and nose and let the person put his two feet on his back and he will get better of the pain.
