    Another cure for Warts.
    In olden times, there were very few Doctors, and the people had to cure themselves.
    First, you count all the warts on your hands and feet, and then you would go and pick a stone for every wart you have, you put them in a paper bag and leave them in the middle of the road, and the first person who come and picks them up, will have warts on his hands. Then next morning, All the warts will be gone from you.
