    304a
    And as our Lord passed by this water
    The water stood
    And by those words and in His name,
    I command this blood to do the same.
    Toothache: The prayer for the cure of toothache belongs to Julia Coakley of Belleview Raharney, but many people know the prayer and use it.
    The person saying the prayer should rub his hand to the jaw at the same time.
    As Peter sat on a marble stone
    * Oh my Lord and Saviour heard his moan(s)
    "Oh, Peter, Peter, why dost thou quake?"
    "Oh my Lord and Saviour I have a toothache"
    "Get up Peter and follow me;
    Neither toothache nor heartache shall trouble thee
    If you keep those words in remembrance of me."
    (* should probably be "Our Lord")
