    Headaches:
    Long ago when people used to get headaches another person would set a charm fearing their heads would split. This was supposed to be done by prayer. The person afflicted was obliged to have his head measured three times on three different occasions and after this they were supposed to be alright.
    Thorns:
    A fox's tongue takes out a thorn when left on it.
    For every disease:
    1) The seventh son or daughter of a family is supposed to have a cure for every disease.
    2) A child whose father dies before his or her birth has a cure for every disease.
