Origin Of Ache In Finnish Mythology

"I well know ague´s genes, I remember the villain´s origin. Ague was rocked by the wind, was put to sleep by chilly air, was brought by wind, was by water drawn, by hard weather was conveyed, came in the whirlwind of a storm, in the sleigh-tracks of a chilly blast against us wretched sufferers, against us poor unfortunates".

-Magic songs of the Finns, 1898
