- (continued from previous page)Ring Worm. There was also a cure for the ring worm. If there were seven sons in a family it is supposed that the youngest son would cure it.
When he would be small there would be a worm left in his hand untill he would die. It is supposed that if that boy would rub the hand on which the worm died, he would cure the ring worm. The person that had the ring worm would go to this boy on three occasions. He had three days left out for that purpose.
