  1. Toothache: Peter sat on a marble stone. Our Lord came to him alone. "What ails thee, Peter" said Our Lord and Peter said "my head aches with toothache." It is said that who ever says these words when they have a toothache will never have it again.
    Sore eyes: For curing sore eyes the old people used alam and mixed it with the white of an egg.
    Ringworm: If there are seven sons in succession in a house the seventh son can cure ringworm.
