    Toothache:- Visit the "Priests Bush" and rub the tooth with the leaves of the bush three nights running.
    The juice of the bark of the "quick berry bush" put into the tooth.
    If you were in the habit of shaving on Sunday and gave it up it would cure you.
    They would go to Father Moore's grave in Cloncrane and get apiece of gravel off the grave and put it to the tooth.
