    Here is an old saying which people believe in and it prevents them from leaving an old house and going to a new one on Saturdays or for a young boy or girl to go to a position on that day. It is said that "Saturdays flitting makes a short sitting" and it sometimes proves to be true. We also have some remedies for ailments.
