If a raw potato is cut and rubbed on to a warth it will cute it, also if a stolen piece of meat is rubbed to a wart it will cure it but the meat must be buried. A posthumous child has cures, e. g. for craos galar if the posthumous child was let brethe into the sick child's mouth the craos galar would be cured.
