Nathan Crab, the son of Mr. Zacheus Crab, suffered from convulsions and falling fits for about nine years. After these nine years, a charm was administered in the hopes of curing Nathan of his afflictions. The charm consisted of a bag to hang around Nathan's neck, and "powder to take in White wine for one weeks time," and after wearing the bag for a week Nathan was to take it off and burn it. The bag, however, was taken off Nathan's neck after only "two Days and a Night," at which time a piece of paper was found inside with the words "Callen Dan Dant/Dan Dant Callen/ Dan Callen Dant" on it. The charm was ultimately thought to be "a Cure from the Devil" and was discarded. (47-48)
