- Warts
The following are some of the cures for warts. If you met a funeral on the road, without knowing whose was the corpse, and said my warts be with you, the warts would appear on the dead body. If you were in a graveyard and came across water in a tomb, without looking for it and if you washed the warts with it, they would disappear. If you got knots of straw corresponding to the number of warts on your hand, then put them into a paper and threw it on the road, the first person that opened the parcel would take the warts on his or her hands.
