1. Care of Feet

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   In Ireland long ago the old people went bare - foot no matter how cold or wet the days were.
   Nowadays the children don't go bare - foot they go slip shod. When the roads are dry it is very hard to walk on them and some time we get stone bruises, crigs, and very often we get a thorn. When our feet are sore we bathe them in hot water and paint them with iodine and cover the wounded part with a clean cloth; they get better in a couple of days.
   It is nice to go barefoot in the summer but it is not so pleasant in winter.
   My mother told me she knew a woman who never wore boots only when she was going to the chapel
   In Connemara the people wear pampooties and indeed they are odd looking footwear.
   In winter we wear clogs. These consist of a wooden sole with a little raised heel with iron shods and tips
