    Epilepsy - When stricken for the first times the victim should be strewn with ashes, dust or clay in three actions saying "In the name of the Father" in the name of the Son"
    "In the name of the Holy Ghost"
    Another cure for epilepsy - Bury a harrow-pin and the tops of the ten fingers in the spot where the victim fell first.
