What I want to know is how this mystery man found Meier in the first place.

I certainly wish this mysterious stranger would have come to my house some years ago, when I had chronic hiccups. Good to know the magic cure, in case it happens again and his hiccup radar doesn't pick me up again. Hopefully, the black candles don't have to be any particular shape.
