“Long ago people had no doctors.”
Long ago people had no doctors. They had cures of their own for diseases. Warts were cured by heating an iron and burning off the warts.
Another cure was to count the warts and to put as many stones as warts into a bag and throw the bag at a cross roads and the next to pick up the bag would get all the warts.
