   got out from the towns. There is a story of a man named John Burke who lived near Dunmore. It is said that he was on his way from Tuam carrying a new pair of shoes on his back. He hit his big toe against a stone and cut it very much. "I had luck not to have on my shoes they would be well broken now." When ever anyone else cut their toes they used say. "Thanks be to god I had'nt my shoes on."
   They used wash their feet every night but they used never throw out the water after doing so. They used leave it within until next morning. They said it was not right to throw it out as the fairies would have power over you if you did. It is said that there was a man cutting turf in Burmingham bog and that on his way home washed his socks in Mammions' spring well. His name is not known. The well disappeared from where it was and sprung up fifty yards from south of that.
   In summer men and women wore stocking called traithíns. They had no stole only one loop through which they put the big toe.
   They used have no corns long ago only shillblains and bunógs. The bunógs came in the heels and were very sore. Aghaidhreach was another common ailment which came in the feet. It was worse than any other ailment. Patt Lardmer of Bishop Street
