    WARTS:
    (1) It is said that whenever you get a wart you should find a snail and place it on the wart and when it has given out a little drop of juice, take the snail away and put it on a hawthorn tree.

    Another cure for warts is the Wart Weed. It is about two inches high and is easily recognised because it only grows with cabbage. When you get the wart weed squeeze the milk out of it on the wart and after a while the wart goes.
