    Cures of Heart ache
    The man who has the cure of the heart ache puts a penny on the persons breast, he puts the ex bottom of a lighted candle on the penny and places a pint tumbler over it. After a few minutes the breast begins to swell up and keeps swelling until it pushes the lighted candle up to the top of the glass and quenches it. As soon as this happens the swelling begins to return and this time the person feels pain. After this the heart ache is cured
