- The seventh son or daughter of a family has the cure of the ringworm. They must be all daughter or all sons. This cure is only made on Mondays and Thursdays. This cure cannot be made after sunset.
The male worm is cured by three visits and the female takes nine times. It is said if a girl has the ringworm a boy is the best to cure her and the girl is the best to cure the boy.
