Go to the bog before sunrise and after sunset for three days, night and morning. Dip the part affected in water and then a person who father and mother is alive throats a stone across the sore in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. The same performance is gone through with the nine stones. If this was not done in the moon in which the complaint occured, you had to go on doing it till you came to the moon in which you took it. As a lad narrator threw the stones to cure another person.
