    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.

  2. One cure is the snail for a wart. It is said that when a person has a wart he should rub it with a snail and then place the snail on a black-thorn and when the snail dies the wart goes away.
