Bone setting
Some years ago there lived in Empor a man who could set bones. He name was Micky Leonard. He used pull the bone first and get it into the right place. Then he put a charge on it. The charge was made up of the following items, black pitch, white pitch, dragons blood and venus turpentine. It had to be left on for nine days and when he would take it off the bone would be set.- Collector
