- A woman has a cure for the shile shan. Shile breaks an egg (anc) on the top of the person head and pulls the person's hair. Then she ties a handkerchief round your chin, and orders you not to take it off for three days.
- A man lives near us who has the cure of the ring-worm. He makes black ointment for the purpose. When he gives it to you he tells you to rub it on at night and not torub it off until it is better.
