    The old people of Ireland made their own cures. If a child took the measels the father (of the chi) took the child and put it accross three times under a donkey.
    2. If anyone had pains in the bones they rubbed the spot well with seals oil.
    3. If anyone in the family is sick and they to go to a holy well and them to see a trout, they are sure to be cured. It is no good unless you see the trout.
    4. If anyone has a beeling foot it is very good to put soap mixed with sugar to it to (drow) draw it out.
