  1. Cures

    Share Share Post
    An old cure for a wart is to go into a forge and take the water out of the trough without the blacksmith saying anything to you. Another cure for a wart is to find a snail without looking for it. Then rub the snail to the wart and then put it on a thorn. In a few days the wart will disappear.
