    Local Cures
    Children are cured of Worm fever by boiling an herb in the water- drinking the water, reading a certain verse in the Bible and making the sign of the Cross. many a child that has been given up by doctors, has been cured of Worm fever by this particular woman.
    The local bone setter also cures where doctors fail.
