Submitter comment:
WHEN RETURNING FROM THE STORE, MISS MEADOWS CALLED ME OVER TO
HER PORCH WHERE SHE WAS SITTING. SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE
HAD NOTICED MY STY AND THEN PROCEEDED TO GIVE ME A REMEDY
THAT WAS SURE TO WORK. OF COURSE, I DIDN'T TAKE HER SERIOUSLY.
BUT I DECIDED TO TRY IT ANYWAY. THE OUTCOME: MY STY WAS
STILL THERE THREE DAYS LATER.

COME IN FROST."
YOU BLOW ON THE BURN AS YOU SAY THIS, BUT ONLY ON THE
LAST WORD. A MAN MUST NOT TOUCH MAN NOR A WOMAN TOUCH
A WOMAN.
