  2. Wm Hall (Senior) Tatinagall Smithboro Monaghan (an old lady about 75) has a cure for warts on the hand. She cured my own child when the hand was almost completely covered with warts, HUNDREDS of them.
    She burned something out of the bog and shook the ashes on the child's hand. Gradually day by day the warts sank until no trace left.
    Doctors could not cure these warts - Mrs Hall is still alive.
