    People in the olden days used to say that when a person wants to cure warts they should rub washing soda to them or get a small bag of stones and rub them to the warts. Then they should put them at some cross-road. They used to say also that when a person wants to cure a stye, they should rub their fasting - spit to their eye, or also to rub a wedding ring to their eye.
