Cavan Credulity There must be
great deal of the pagan in the. Irish
character yet, for there is no 9TH
er way of reconciling the action
of a large number of people
from Leitrim. Meath, Longford and
Fermanagh, who visited and are still
coming to foal belonging to Mr.. Peter
Leddy, of Crimlin, Cavan, in the hope
of having effected a cure for their par
ticular disease by being licked by that
money-making freak of nature. From
Newtownbutler alone, fully twenty per-
son have been driven to this much
spoken of animal, full of the conviction
that the foal was endowed with some
genuine faculty for alleviating their
sufferings.
On Thursday representative of the
"Anglo-Celt" called at the house of Mr..
Peter Leddy and interviewed Mrs. Led
dy, who stated that the foa1 was born
a month before its time, on the 1st of
June last, and when found. her hus-
band was astonished to see that it had
an udder full of milk. Leldy, not
knowing what to do, nevet having
heard of such case before, cent for a
neighbor who was in the habit of rear
ing lot of foals, but who, onlarriving,
expressed his perplexity and advised
him to send for a veterinary surgeon.
Mr.. Dawson, v. s., Cavan. Was then
requisitioned, and on arriving exam
ined the foal, and declared that he had
never seen a similar case before. Led
dy daily milked the foal on the ground
in the hope of setting it dry but at
the end of week man frpm Arva
came to his place and asked for some
of the milk. Mrs. Leddy inquired what
he wanted it for, and was told that he
wished to drink it as cure Tor fall
ing Sickness" This was noisa1 abroad
and since then hundreds have visited
the foal for various complaints. Mr.
Leddy then gave the names, amongst
them being Mr.. -, of BaIkconnell,
who was suffering from disea.e of the
liver, and whom she says wss licked
by the foal, drank the milk. and went
home cured. She added thai he had
since sent his son, who was suffering
from consumption. Another man
named Mr.. -, from Pullabtwn, had
cancer on his lip, but a week after the
foal had licked it the growth entirely
disappeared. Billy -, of Ballingtem-
pie, aged so, who was unlucly enough
to get his hinch hurt when a boy, and
whom no doctor was able to cure. has
been made all right, Mrs. Leddy said,
with a single lick of this wonderful
foal. A son of P-'s, of Killinkere. |
was successfully treated for rapid con-
sumption. A child of Mrs. =, Cross
keys, who was suffering from swelling
on the knee, was cured within fort
night. These are only a few of the
cases told by Mrs. Leddy. who added
that the foal only licked those cit was
able to cure We have given the
facts-and the animal is still being
kept busy, but no person treated has
announced a cure.
