A notice explains the disease cured here is mostly seen among children. Water builds up under the skin of the head or even under the bone. A two-finger long incision is made, if there is a lot of water even two incisions may be needed and when under the bone even three. Afterwards the head is bandaged and disinfected with wine and olive oil. A warning says that hitting an artery would cause the patient to bleed to death.
