Stephen I. of Hungary (979, 997-1038).
Saints for Diseases. These saints either ward off ills or help to relieve them, and should be invoked by those who trust their power:—
Ague. St. Pernel cures.
Bad Dreams. St. Christopher protects from.
Blear Eyes. St. Otilic cures.
Blindness. St. Thomas à Becket cures.
Boils and Blains. St. Rooke cures.
Chastity. St. Susan protects.
Children’s Diseases (All). St Blaise heals; and all cattle diseases. The bread consecrated on his day (February 3) and called “the Benediction of St. Blaise,” should have been tried in the recent cattle plague.
Cholera. Oola Beebee is invoked by the Hindûs in this malady.
