To find treasure
Take an agate and make it red-hot on the iron of a lumberjack's axe. Then, lay the ax on the floor in such a manner that the cutting edge is turned to the sky. Place the agate on the axe edge; if it rests, there is no treasure. If it falls; let it fall and repeat 3 times. If it rolls three times in the same direction, it’s a certain sign that a treasure is is buried in the ground at that spot. If it takes each time a different route, it’s a sign that there is a treasure but you will have to search elsewhere.

Saint Serapion was one of seven Christians who, locked in a cave by order of Decius, slept three hundred and seventy-two years.

The infernal stone, also called by some the celestial stone, is, by the grace of its very small price, a great utility for the relief of the poor. It dries the flesh of mushy and filthy ulcers, heals scrofula and cankers, reduces the mortified flesh and removes fistulas that resist the lancet.
