    Share Share Post
    A woman named Mrs. Gray who lives in Skerry, Co. Meath has the cure of the heart-ache. If you bring her three eggs she will make them stand on a plate and she will wave her hand over them. If the eggs sweat you have the heart-ache and if you bring them home and eat them you will be cured.
