For the Mad Fever Three stones must be charmed by the hands of a wise fairy doctor, and cast by her hand, saying as she does so - "The first stone I cast is for the head in the mad fever; the second stone I cast is for the heart in the mad fever; the third stone I cast is for the back in the mad fever. In the name of Bridget, let peace come. So be it."
