As our saviour came to the place where the Veronia (This may mean Veronica) was to die He shivered & He shook and the Jews asked Him was it through mock was it fever or ague He had. He made answer and said not. Anyone carrying these words about them either in writing or memory shall never be smitten with fever or ague. - Cure of Backache. Only possessed by those born wrong. The patient lies on his back on the floor and the curer walks over the body.
