- there is alot of old traditional cures all over the country. I heard a cure lately for warts. The cure is to bury a piece of meat for a few days at the end of that time to take it up again ad rub it to the warts.Another cure is to get a little "torstin" and for every wart you have put a stone into the "tortstin". And when you are walking along the road without looking behind you drop the "tortstin" and the next person picks up the "tortsin" will take the warts. Another cure is to dip your hand which the warts are on in the water with the smith cooks the shoes.
