- (continued from previous page)and Glory be to the Father. The days the cure is made is Mondays and Thursdays. After the third day it goes away
- A person who wants to get the cure of the heart fever made must go to someone who makes the cure and bring with him some oaten meal. The man who makes it fills a cup of oaten meal and covers the top of it with a handkerchief and holds it to the head of the person while he says some prayers. Then he takes the cup away. If the meal in the cup has gone down the person has the heart fever. Then he makes some cakes of the meal and bakes them and gives them to the person to eat.
