  1. My grand-father told me a lot of old cures the people had long ago.
    (1) If a person had a wart and when crossing a wall found water in a stone without looking for it and dipped the wart in this water for nine Tuesdays and after a few days the wart would disappear.
    (2) If there were seven sons in one family and the seventh one would be able to cure any kind of a disease.
    (3) If a person had a boil and if he washed it for nine Tuesdays where four waters meet, it would get healed.
