“If you suffer from pains and if you go to the mearing of two parishes nine times and get water there nine times you can get cured.”
If you suffer from "pains" and if you go to the mearing of two parishes nine times and get water there nine times you can get cured. Some one must go with you to get up the water. Christy Reynolds was once "bet up with pains" and he used to have a stick helping him to walk. He and his wife went to the mearing of Kentstown and Walterstown and the wife got up the water for him there. When he went home he rubbed the water to the places where the pains were. He went to the mearing nine times and got the water nine times. When he had it done six times, he was able to throw away the stick and at the ninth time he was as good as if he had never a pain in his life.
