    Local cures
    Warts.
    In the case of warts there are many remedies:-
    First it is said that if one accidentally comes across a small hole of water in a rock and washes the warts with the water the warts will disappear. Again if one rubs pigs blood on the wart each morning until they get black they will die away.

    It is said that warts can also be cured by selling them to a friend for money but when they leave the person they appear on the buyers hand.
