Martha did as he said. The faith doctor dampened it with water and laid it on her daughter's head, saying some prayer. He also placed some sheets on the child's palms and feet and fastened them.
Then he knelt before the child and prayed aloud. Martha was impressed and hoped her daughter would get well soon. The doctor asked her to dampen the brown paper and placed it on the child for a couple of days. Martha saw some improvement but in the end, it was in vain.
