Dr. Borlase says : "I happened luckily to be at this well upon the last day of the year, on which, according to vulgar opinion, it exerts its principal and most salutary powers. Two women were here, who came from a neighbouring parish, and were busily employed in bathing a child. They both assured me that people who had a mind to receive any benefit from St. Euny's Well must come and wash upon the three first Wednesdays in May." Children suffering from mesenteric disease should be dipped three times in Chapel Uny "widderschynnes," and widderschynnes" dragged three times round the well,. from the v interesting online version of "THE LEGENDARY LORE OF THE HOLY WELLS OF ENGLAND INCLUDING Rivers, Lakes, Fountains and Springs.
