    6. To go through a form of sale of the wart to some person will cure them. Whoever burys them will never take them.
    7. when going past a stone with a hole in it containing water, rub the water on the wart and it will disappear- you must not go out looking for such stone.
    8.when travelling fasting and find a black snail without searching for it rub the wart with it three times, bless yourself and then hang the snail on a gooseberry, while the snail is withering away the wart will go away with it too.
