- The old people use to have all their own cures. They had a cure for nearly every disease. These are some of them.
Warts: When they would have warts they would rub pig's blood on them and they are supposed to go away.
They used to get a piece of meat and rub it on the wart. They then put the meat under the stone and as the meat would decay the wart would also rot.
