Charms from Devonshire.—The following charms were obtained from an old woman in this parish, though probably they are all known to you already:
(a.) For a Scald or Burn.
"There were three angels came from The East and West,
One brought fire and another brought frost,
And the third it was the Holy Ghost.
Out fire, in frost, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."
(b.) For a Sprain.
"As our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was riding into Jerusalem, His horse tripped and sprained his leg. Our Blessed Lord and Saviour blessed it, and said,
'Bone to bone, and vein to vein,
O vein, turn to thy rest again!'
