    Long ago when persons used to have the Heart Failure the used to call in the man that had the cure. He got a piece of white, put it on the man's back and said the Hail Mary three times. Then every morning for nine mornings the person that had the disease had to eat an egg, and if anyone stood between him and the fire he would not be cured.
