- Hidden Treasure.In Enfield, it is said, there is an underground passage. At the end of this passage people say there is a Druid's Altar. On the altar there is a gold chalice full of gold.
It is said that a man went down this passage and never came back. Nobody ever tried to get it since. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cure.
This is a good cure for warts. Cut a potato in two and rub it on the warts and then bury it. According as the potato rots the warts will go away. If you do not believe in the cure the warts will not go.Eileen Lenehan,
