Evil Eye  [duchas:4734603]

Sixty years ago a little boy of six or seven year old, who had been perfectly healthy, one evening got suddenly very ill. There was no apparent cause & the neighbors came to see the sick child. One of them asked had there been any visitors to the house, previous to the child's illness and the parents then remembered that a relative had called on that day.
This woman was sent for. She came, spat on the child said God bless you, child and from then off the child improved.
This occurred also in the

village of Sneem.
