  1. Get a snail and put it on the wart, then stick a thorn in the snail.
    Steal a piece of meat and rub wart with it, then bury the meat and as the meat decays the wart vanishes.
    cut a potato in nine parts, put the parts with a yummy in a parcel, drop the parcel at the nearest road, whoever lifts the parcel will take the warts from the person who has them.
    On a friday morning go to the bridge and wash the warts in water found in a hole in any stone as the water goes away so will the warts.
