    the 7 daughter where no son is born can also cure wring worm or kill a worm
    people also have a cure for stopping blood from the nose or from a cut.
    A long dog briar is procured and split in two. The person who is working the cure puts the two ends of both parts around his body, and puts the other ends around the person to be cured. A certain prayer is said by the curer & while being said the ends around patient slowly meet & the bleeding stops at once.
