  1. Another Cure for Warts

    Share Share Post
    In this locality it is believed that if a person were suffering from warts, if he got some pebbles and rubbled each of them on the warts and then put them in a paper bag and left them on the road where someone would find them the warts would disapper. It is believed that that the person who found the bag would get the warts. This, of course, is only superstition but it is believed by many people in this district.
