I was born and raised in Dickenson Co. Va. My Father was the oldest of a set of twins-now the oldest was supposed to have the power of healing. Many a mother in our neighborhood brought their babies to my dad to blow into the babies mouth to cure the Thush(Thrash,Country talk)G. and it did. He could stop bleeding by holding the person's hand and say something to himself and the bleeding would stop. When I was 4 yrs old I had a bad case of warts breaking out on my face,all around my mouth. Daddy went to the leak of the house(We didn't have storn gutters then, so the water just dripped of the house leaving little ditches with little rocks in them)--daddy got a little flat rock and rubbed it all over the warts--saying something to himself.Told me to close my eyes and he tossed it over his shoulder.The warts were gone within a week Annie
