Cure for Illness
About two Irish miles from Garryclogher School near Curragh-more river in Fox's field and about twelve yards in from the road there is a stone on which the Blessed Virgin is supposed to have appeared.
The impression of her knees and her elbows and her breast are to be seen on the stone.
The stone is a cure for any kind of sickness or pains. You should bring a little bottle of water and then clean out the hollow on the stone and throw the water into it. You should then walk around the stone and say prayers before you take the water out of it.
Then you should put the water into the bottle again and take it home with you.
If you get sick or any cough you should rub it to yourself(continues on next page)
