  1. Old Cures - Warts

    Warts
    1. Get nine straws and put a knot on each straw. Rub each knot to the warts in the three best Names.
    This will take the warts away.
    2. Get a raw potato and cut it into four pieces. Put the pieces into a bag and throw the bag away. Whoever gets the bag takes the warts and they will go away from you.
    3. Rub a snail on the warts. Then tie the snail to a bush.
    When the snail has rotted the warts will be gone away.
