  1. St Patrick

    Share Share Post
    There is a well in Carlanstown called St. Patricks well. Once upon a time it was said that St. Patrick was passing through Carlanstown and was looking for a drink. He went down to this little stream and suddenly he blessed it. Even after it is called St. Patrick well.

    The cure for a wart is to rub a snail to it.
    The cure for consumption is to swallow a live frog
    The cure for a sty in your eye. Pull nine gooseberry thorns and point each of them at your eye saying "In the name of the Father and of the son and the Holy Ghost Amen.
    throwing them over your shoulder at the same time.
    For chilblains go to a neighbours house, sit at the fire; take off your shoes and stockings
