    a man with a white horse they should ask him to know if he had any cure for it and whatever he tells you to do, it is said to be done and it will be cured.
    if one gets a cut it is a good cure to get a cobweb and put it on the cut and it will stop bleeding.

    Sty on the eye:- Rub a gooseberry thorn or a gold wedding ring making the sign of the cross at the same time.
    Warts:-If a person has twelve warts or any number, get a piece of an ash tree, break them in pieces representing the apostles. Then shake Holy water on them and place each stick on each wart. After that bury the sticks, and when they rot the warts will fall off.
