    St Lawrence's well has the cure of the headache. It is situated in Rathmore.
    Mustard is supposed to cure a tooth-ache when it is placed in it. Vinegar and a tight bandage are used to cure a sprain. A drink of whey hot and butter in it and then go to bed is supposed to cure a cold.
    The root of the lesser celandine bruised and boiled and mixed with lard is a good cure of ringworm.
