“A cure for warts is to get a snail and rub the juice of the snail to the wart...”
A cure for warts is to get a snail and rub the juice of the snail to the wart and then hang the snail on a bush until the snail withers. when the snail is withered the wart is cured. Another cure is there is a stone over in Barmady's field with a bush growing in the middle of it and three wells around the bush if you had a wart mak the sign of the cross on the wart three times with the water of each well and in about three weeks the wart would be cured.
