    Cures.
    1. The seventh son in a family without a daughteer would have a care for ring worm.
    2. If you had a sty on your eye, it would get better if you picked it with a gooseberry thorn. It would also get better if you put a marriage ring around it.
    3. There was a man living in Rehan long ago and he had wild fire on his face. A friend of his told him that if he put a ring of ink around it, it would keep it from spreading. He bought a bottle of ink and put it n it and it spread no longer and after a while it faded away.
