    A cure for a child with rickets.
    Bring the child to a blacksmith's forge. The blacksmith places the child beside the anvil, takes a red iron and gives it a stroke of a sledge. Then the sparks fly round the child and the blacksmith winds the iron round the child's head three times. After this the child will be able to walk.
