    Share Share Post
    A cure for warts bury a straw and put a knot on the straw and as soon as the the straw is rotten the warts will be going. Another cure for warts is rubbing a fasting spit on it for nine mornings in succession.
    A cure for whitlow. Rub a black cat's tail without a white hair on it.
