- There are not many people in this district that can cure Miss Keefe of Ballinaberna is able to cure darts in a finger with blue stone and butter milk. She boils the milk and then puts the blue stone into it and boils it again. She puts it on a finger very hot It is not to be taken off for three weeks. A hole is made in the finger and she puts a lump of blue stone in to the hole and ties it up as tight as she could When she takes it off again it would be well
