POWER DOCTOR TALE

RELIEVE THE PAIN FROM A BURN BY BLOWING UPON THE BURNED PLACE,
TOUCHES IT WITH HIS FINGERTIPS AND SAID A PRAYER. THE PRAYER
MAY BE TOLD TO PERSONS OF THE OTHER SEX, BUT NEVER TO ONE OF
THE SAME SEX.
ONE LITTLE INDIAN, TWO LITTLE INDIANS,
ONE NAMED EAST, ONE NAMED WEST,
THE SON AND THE FATHER AND THE HOLY GHOST.
IN GOES THE FROST, OUT COMES THE FIRE,
ASK IT ALL IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
