    Cures for warts
    long ago the people used to make cures for warts out of dandelion leaves, water and the root of a dark leaf.
    It is said that if you would wash your hands in the water of a rock it is a cure for warts.
    it is said that if you would get a bit of meat and rub it on the meat and then bury it and let no one see you doing it that the warts would go off your hands.
