    heart ache
    the patient must bring three eggs and a small quantity of water meal to the man who possesses the cure. he prays over them, and if the person has really a heartache the eggs sweat and the meal becomes lower on one side than on the other side. The patient must bring them home and eat one egg each day with a small cake made from the meal. this is done three times, then the heartache is supposed to disappear.
