- Long ago many people had the privilege of curing diseases particularly skin diseases such as wildfire and ringworms. At the present time no person in this school has the power to cure such diseases.
My grandmother was able to cure skin diseases such as wildfire and ringworms She merely applied the blood of her finger to the affected part and in a short time the patient was completely cured.
My grandmother had the power to cure these diseases because she was the seventh daughter of the family.- Collector
