- Local Cures No 3
Long ago there were not very many cures and doctors, but nowadays there are both cures and doctors, and the people around in this district think that often the cures are better than the doctors.
There is a man named Smith (Culkis), Rassan, who has the cure of the ringworm but he would not tell anyone the secret of it. He rubs on the sore and he mutters something to himself while doing it
