  2. Cures

    Share Share Post
    If a person rubbed a snail on a wart and put it on a thorn, when the snail would be withered the wart would be gone.
    If you rub a wart-weed on a wart the wart will go.
    If you rub a bit of fat-bacon on a wart and bury it without anyone seeing you the wart will go.
