- Old Cures
Whooping Cough: Put the sufferer under and over a white ass three times. This is an old cure for whooping cough.
I got this cure from my father. Mr Warner The Quay, New Ross.
- For Warts: Get as many pebbles as you have warts put them in a bag and tie it at the top. Throw it away and if anybody picks it up your warts will go away and they will get them. This is an old cure for warts.
I got this cure from my mother. Mrs. Warner. The Quay, New Ross. - For Poison: Get some frocken leaves and boil them. Drink the juice and the poison will go away. This is an old cure for poison.
I got this cure from my father. Mr. Warner. The Quay, New Ross. - Informant
