    (f) Get a weed called wart-weed. Break the weed + rub the white milk on the wart + it will disappear.
    (g) Get a bit of "bootrystick" if you have four warts put five notches on the stick + hide it in the ground. When the stick rots the warts will fade away.
    (h) Dip the wart in the forge bucket.

    Whooping Cough: (a) Ask the first man you meet with a white horse. And he will give you the cure.
    (b). Milk left after a ferret has eaten, is another cure.
    (c). Inhale the gas in a gas-yard for a couple of minutes.
