CURE FOR RINGWORM:
GO TO A TEAKETTLE OF BOILING WATER, RUB YOUR THUMB IN
A CIRCLE THE SIZE OF THE RINGWORM ON THE INSIDE OF THE
LID AND THEN AROUND THE RINGWORM. DO THIS WITH THE
FOREFINGER AND THEN THE THUMBS AGAIN. DO THIS WITH ALL
THE FINGERS ON THAT HAND, ALTERNATING EACH TIME WITH THE
THUMB. WHEN THROUGH, GO AWAY AND BE SURE NOT TO LOOK
BACK AT THE TEAKETTLE; IT WILL GET WELL.
