- Hooping Cough
A husband and wife of the same surname have the cure of the Hooping cough. They lead the person that has the Hooping cough by the hand to a place where three rivers meet the three mere waters. And, with the water from the three mere waters, they make the sign of the Cross three times on the patients head. The performance is repeated for three days. The cure is made on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
