  1. Sore Mouth or White Mouth in Babies

    Share Share Post
    The child born after its fathers death is said to have the cure of the sore mouth in babies. The people bring the child three times and the person with the cure blows her fasting breath three times on the mouth and says ''In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy ghost. Amen.''

    When the Raharney people get a bad prod of a thorn they go to Daniel Higgins of Raharney. He rubs his hand on the prod and says some prayers and after some time it heals up.
