    Share Share Post
    A cure for warts.
    Pull ten ivy leaves and the tenth on you pull throw across your right shoulder and point the rest three times at the warts blessing yourself each time. When the leaves are gone the warts are gone too.
    2. Pull rose-tongues and chop them up, boil them in milk. Strain the mixture and rub it on the warts and in a week they will be gone.
    A cure for a burn
    Get laurel leaves and fry them in grease. When they are cool, put a leaf on the burn and it will ease the pain.
