    animals legs to cure pains in their backs. The herbs that are used for drawing a sore are a plantain leaf and ivy leaf and the chicken weed. The cure for a cut is to cut up Slánlus (plantain) and mix it with butter. The chicken weed is also used for a pain in the heart. Phil Ginty has the cure for a prod of a thorn. James Smith has the cure of swollen hands. Thomas Divine has the cure of the strain. If a child is born that never saw his father he will have the cure of the foul mouth. If there are seven consecutive daughter's or seven consecutive son's in a family the seventh will have the cure of the ringworm. If two people of the same name get married they will have the cure of the chin-cough.
