  1. Old Cures - Bleeding from the Head

    Share Share Post
    The old cure for the bleeding of the head is to put the person lying flat and say this prayer:
    As Jesus was born in Bethlehem,
    Baptised in the river Jordan.
    The day being fine and the water being clear and good.
    As Jesus came the water stood.
    And in his words and by his name
    I command the blood to do the same.
