    Warts
    If a person has warts and if he goes to a river and rub the frouth on the warts you'll be cured in about three days. Another cure is "where the potatoes are nearley boiled get the froth and rub on the warts and you'll be cured in three days. A third cure is to get a snail and rub him on your warts & then go to a sloe tree & tie the snail to the tree & when the snail is dead the warts are gone.
