    Local Cures - Sciatica
    There lives a woman of the widow Duffy's cross, . . . , who is supposed to have the cure for Sciatica.
    People going to her must have great faith in what she tells them to do and must also repeat her prayers. They also must attend a certain number of times to be cured.
    This woman has only the cure for the last five years when it was given to her by some relation at his death.
    People say she can leave it to anyone at her death also.
