Catherine, by philosophers, students & lawyers. Christopher, by travellers. Denis, against headaches & rabies. Erasmus, against cramp & diseases of the intestines Eustace, by hunters & sometimes to save us from fire of all kinds, including eternal fire George, by soldiers & sometimes against skin diseases Giles, against epilepsy, insanity, sterility & cases of demonic possession Margaret, by pregnant women & during childbirth Pantaleon, against phthisis & other wasting diseases. Vitus (or Guy), against epilepsy & against the 'dance' bearing his name. In the book are prayers to the fourteen Holy Helpers.
