    If the person went to Mr Patterson of the Racend he would put a plaster on it and in about a month it would be cured. He would put something in the making of the plaster but he would not tell you what it is, because it is a secret. Also there is a strange cure for warts. If we rub a black snail on our warts and then out of it in time, leave on half lying where you have found it and tie the other half up on a tree; when the snail is rotten your wart will go away.
