Traditional superstitions and beliefs 16 disappear altogether; they assume new forms and 17 to contemporary conditions. 18 in the 21st century people may dismiss their forefather's customs and practices as superstition, many are still current. A Friday which falls on the 13th of a month is widely feared as 19 , and so are spilling and walking under a ladder. Belief 20 the power of mascots is far from 21 ; the lucky rabbit's foot, like the horseshoe, is a popular charm. Certain foods, too, 22 their ancient lore. Many people, for example, accept the old adage "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". One aspect of traditional 23 which is still very much 24 today is folk medicine. When the causes of illness were totally 25 , and disease seemed to strike without any reason, it was often 26 to evil spirits taking over the body. To 27 the patient, the demons of disease must be driven out, and many "cures" were spells and charms intended to exorcise these usurpers. Until 28 modern times even “official” medicine was very unpleasant, with no anaesthetics or pain-killers, and a low success rate. Few people, 29 , could afford it, and most relied on folk healers and magic. There was an enormous range of herbal cures, some of which have since been found to have actual healing properties. Charms were worn to ward off disease; and a wide 30 of seemingly strange objects, such as church furnishings, were credited with powers of healing. rm?C_
