Cures that Could Only Be Worked on Certain Days  [duchas:4563674]

Cures that could only be worked on certain Days.

Patch Costello Ballinastack had a cure for a headache known as "An After-noon Pain". People used to get it in the evening or after dinner and that was the reason it was called an "After-noon Pain".

He used to measure some kind of a tape around the invalids head. This cure would only work on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
