    No. 5 A prayer for the toothache is.
    As Peter sat on a marble stone,
    Jesus came to him alone,
    O Peter dear why do'st thou ache,
    O Lord save me from the toothache
    Rise up Peter and be well,
    Those who say this prayer for my sake,
    Shall never be troubled with the toothache.
    No. 6. "Were you sleeping mother?"
    "Yes, and I dreamt that I saw a blind man coming towards you with a spear in his hand to spill your gentle blood."
    "Is it true dear mother?"
    "Yes, those who say this prayer three times before they sleep shall never enter hell, shut the gates of hell against us and open for us the gates of heaven. Gods two white hands will come for us the last day.
