  1. Local Cures - Cure for Warts

    Rub beef to the warts and bury the beef in a flower pot. Wet washing soda and rub it to them. Get three bits of straw and bury them and dont let anyone know it. While the straw is rotting the warts will be disappearing.Rub your fasting spit in the morning to the warts for a few mornings. There is a weed and it is said a drop of our lords blood fell on it when he was carrying the cross. If you cut your fingers and put the leaf around the cut it will stop the bleeding. Put a cobweb around a cut to stop bleeding.
